Strange Emails
Since I put the Contact Us link on top I started to get strange emails. Not spam mind you, just emails that seem very out of place. Today I got one which I thought I would share with you as an example:
Dear Sir/Ma

Am a good player and am looking for a club that l can share my talent with please l will be happy if u can really have in ur club.

update: Here is another example of an email I just received:
i just want to know that if you have medical based pathology book exp. (D. M. L. T.) if u have this type of book so pls send me a mail as soon as possible.

Mark, I have an idea as extra money on the side. You can be a sports agent and have like a little sports management agency. You can post pictures of players and showcase their talents to the local clubs and you can get a percentage of their contracts. I think it’ll be a good idea for you.
Did some research on the team. The owners are planning close the team. Couldnt find anything on the player.

looks like a spam email, in which later they ask for personal details like home address and phone, delete and reply its from nigeria.
Any email to do with nigeria are usually scams to take your money some way some how. look it up.
if u reply ur interest, at some point you will have to send him money or give your account details, so next day youll find that he debted your intire balance.
i keep getting emails about some dead president and his daugter trying to take over his fortune.
lol
maybe he is in kuwait and can’t find place for footbal
anon thats the 419 scam, this isn’t it.

If you really believe this is not a scam then…..
uh, never mind.
scams usually involve money transfers etc.. “dear sir i just came upon 4 billion dollars because my father was the prince of wonderland” this email was a guy thinking i have some connection to the kuwait soccer team because of my brazil vs kuwait post…
umm… no usually they talk to you about their problem and ask you for help or be a business partner with them. they tell you they dont want ur money. then after few emails back and forth, theyll ask you for one last favor. couple of rolex watches (or cash)to bribe someone in their government whose going to ruin the whole thing.
this is not the first time someone sends me an email thinking i am related to a post. you should see the emails i get from girls who think I know Masari or Dina al Sabah lol
hahahah this is awesome. maybe he will eventually ask for relocation costs? internet + nigerian = non-stop comedy
so wierd???
I bet these r not gonna b the last one’s. . .
lots of weirdo’s out there.
