Looks like a bot crawled into the membership list.  Got this from user "Privacy:"

(3) What will be your commission ?

I expect your urgent response only if you can handle
this project. for more info contact via email/

If your Japanese might be worth looking into!

Firing up the worthless old Yahoo email account.  Time to write Mr. John in search of chum.

Seems legit

Hang on!!  I'll do it!!   

Sorry dudes, I already wrote him back:

Dear Mr. John,

I received your personal message on the kayak fishing site.  Thank your for taking the time to write and inform me of Mr. Tanaka's untimely demise.  I am impressed with your internet usage, Mr. John.  Not many people know that I kayak fish.  Mr. Tanaka must have told you about the times in which we trolled the China Sea in search of trout.  Those were the days.  Do you kayak fish?  If so, what kind of boat do you have?  Is there a Hobie dealer in Accra-Ghana?  If so, you should check out those Mirage Drives.  But I digress.  You asked of me the following questions:

(1) Can you handle this project ?
(2) Can I give you this trust ?
(3) What will be your commission ?

Answers:
(1)  Does a red-fronted gazelle shit in the savanna?  See I did some research on your place of origin, too.
(2)  My trust meatus is gaping and ready to receive.
(3)  Commission?  Oh, dang, dawg, with you being all generous and whatnot, what say you about splitting this loot down the middle?  Whatcha gonna do with your half?  Hobie time?  LOLZ.

Anyway, shoot me a reply, and we can get those millions flowing.  I take it that you'll want my account numbers and banking info?  Hmmmm, we just met.  Maybe I can get some proof that you're real?  Do you have any pictures of you kayak fishing?

Alright dude, hit me up with the next phase in this plan!

Mr. Andy

LOL!  When these 419 scams first came on the scene we actually convinced a scammer to send us money (and 'revealing' photos as we were posing as a chick).  Will have to see if I still have the old emails somewhere.   

Priceless, as always!!  Nice work!

When that deal goes through, let me know if you need a fishing buddy!   

I look forward to every AJ post ...no matter the subject ! Thanks for the afternoon giggle!

Hilarous!

Way to find a good use for the word meatus as well 

I sadly report that the bait was not taken.  Mr. John is a smart one, and likely saw through the chummy ruse.  Perhaps I shall inquire with more gusto...

Show him some boobs!  That'll get his attention.
