Well Mr Zakariah failed to respond. Guess he must've known I was calling his bluff. But no more did I say that I rarely get these emails, then I got another one!! Although this time it's different. He includes links to people who were killed. Here I'll post the message, but leave out his name so he can't google it so easy!!

31/01/2000 in an Alaska Airlines Flight 261 with other passengers on board. You
can confirm from this website

your country and mine. Please if you are interested kindly forward to me

o apparently a First Nations American had funds in a South African Bank with no name, for some reason. So HOORAY!!! I'll be a bit less cautious but still have some fun. Hopefully he'll reply again, and I can go on a spreeFor a while, I was trying to bait a few of 'em, with the idea that I sold airplanes.
It would have been great, getting a freight bait and making the scammer pay COD and customs, as
well as taxes, on a big-ass airplane crate... full of old underwear.[/b]
That would be hilarious!! You should post some of your replies to these people. I bet you could make us laugh hard!!
