A man calling himself Billy Bradshaw telephoned to say that I have won a contest worth $850,000 and a Mercedes-benz, to be delivered as soon as I send a processing fee. I have not sent them anything, but I have gotten some fun out of them by messing up their instructions or loosing the money that I had promised to send.
The latest set of instructions came with a name and address.
Gerald A. Mauslof
4047 Oyama Rd.
San Benito, Texas 78586
I am certain of the spelling and location, because he asked me to repeat it until I got it right; then called back to say that the moneygram had never been received (lost in the mail?). Today I am supposed to be taking my bicycle to the pawn shop and sending them the proceeds. I will find a way to fowl that up too.
I am not out anything, nor am I foolish enough to give out any account numbers, but I know that lots of people would in hopes that somehow this time; it is legitimate.
