immediately send a payment of $98 USD to a Mr. Uzoukwu Cletus stationed at the FBI's district office in Lagos, Nigeria. He says I am being watched ...
Whatever shall I do???

(33,032 posts)But that's not why I want to dedicate the song to the FBI. I
mean, the job that they have to do is a drag. I mean, they have
to follow people around, you know. That's part of their job.
Follow me around.
I'm out on the highway and I'm drivin' down the road and I
run out of gasoline. I pull over to the side of the road. They
gotta pull over too - make believe that they ran out, you
know.
I go to get some gasoline. They have to figure out whether
they should stick with the car or follow me. Suppose I don't
come back and they're stayin' with the car.
Or if I fly on the airplanes, I could fly half fare because I'm 12
to 22. And they gotta pay the full fare. But the thing is that
when you pay the full fare, you have to get on the airplane
first, so that they know how many seats are left over for the
half fare kids. Right? And sometimes there aren't any seats
left over, and sometimes there are, but that doesn't mean that
you have to go.
Suppose that he gets on and fills up the last seat, so you can't
get on. Then he gets off then you can get on. What's he gonna
do?

"Guthrie has since become a registered Republican. Guthrie endorsed Texas Congressman Ron Paul for the 2008 Republican Party nomination. He said, "I love this guy. Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there. I'm with him, because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes it has as much relevance today as it did a couple of hundred years ago. I look forward to the day when we can work out the differences we have with the same revolutionary vision and enthusiasm that is our American legacy."[14] He told The New York Times Magazine that he is a Republican because, "We had enough good Democrats. We needed a few more good Republicans. We needed a loyal opposition."[15]
About once a month, Guthrie posts short writings to the Announcements area of www.arlo.net, often expounding traditional libertarian themes. Guthrie had made comments in public disparaging musicians' unions and stating that he had refused to join one.[16]"

(28,749 posts)You need to mail me a check for $2000 which I will then cash and use to pay the $95 tariff. Once I pay the tariff I will send you back a check for $1905 immediately.
You must do this quickly to resolve your situation!

(17,621 posts)That said I had won a BMW and $500,000. It said my e-mail address had been drawn randomly. It included a PIN number I was to use and an e-mail address I was to contact with my name, address, phone #, age, and e-mail address. It said this was approved by British Gaming Board and some international gaming organization, I forget what it was called. Yeah, right -- whoever this is actually expect people to believe that out of the blue you win a new car and half a mil.
