MY RESPONSE

Mister Mueller,
I will have you know that I know a lot more about my family than you do, and I do not have family in Africa, let alone family with 10 million dollars for me (not yet the heir) to inherit. Frankly, all of your terms are crass, and I get the feeling you are totally unaware of what you are talking about and who you are talking about it too. It's like telling a United States Marine Corps scout/sniper that his rifle doesn't get half the range of a pea fired from a straw. Unless you or someone you know have the lungs of a Greek God, this is obviously incorrect. Thus, you will surely realize that I am not going to fall for your Phishing trickery.

Here, let me present you with a similar scenario. You are up late, checking your e-mails. you get an e-mail from somebody you have never heard from before telling you that there is money that is yours waiting on hold somewhere far away that you have no connection with. They are also saying that it's from your family, who, by record, hasn't lived there (I mean Europe) since the early 1900's.

I, for one would dismiss the e-mail. As natural as it is to go after the money, I find your information as false and irrelevant. And, by barraging the person who has received your e-mail with large numbers of complicated terminology and acronyms, you have totally lost my trust in you as an honorable person.

I will tell you exactly who you are now and what you are trying to do.

you probably live in a foreign country. Possibly, a Pacific island. You are paid probably by the hour to sit in front a computer and fire off these e-mails to a generated list of addresses your employer has somehow acquired, mine is probably from some stupid dating site I joined long ago. You either have no life (by life, I mean a definitive social life, and, no, that doesn't count chatting with your buddies on facebook, many of whom you have never met,)
OR
you have a life and you are trying to make ends meet with some kind of financial trouble. I don't blame you if the latter option is true, but, chances are, it is the first, and, I have no respect for scum in your class of "low." Here's some advice from a person who now has a life, a nice one, hell, I even have a nice car.
No, you can't have my VIN number.
No, you can't have my insurance billing information.
Get out a little my friend, enjoy life. I was checking my e-mails because I just received confirmation of an order I placed on a game I wanted for a long time. Got to a bar, have a martini and try meeting some pretty girls, tell them you are a programmer (not too horribly far from the truth no?) they tend to eat that up. Listen, Mister however you are. I wish I could help you witha ll your life's problems, but I am tired and I must turn it.
My contempt for your phishing scam is not lost on me, so I am returning this address to my junk folder and this sending address will be blocked.
have a pleasant evening.
