Anonymous Coward User ID: 1181658 United States 12/02/2010 09:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You're lucky, it's only $370. My wife and I sent $15,000 in a cashier's check (we took a second mortgage on the house) but when the paperwork is complete, we will be getting over 2 million dollars! We may have to send another $10,000 for lawyer's fees (we're going to sell our pick-up) but after that we'll be literally rolling in dough! Our kids are going ballistic (stupid kids) but this is guaranteed! Our retirement is going to be so much different than we ever dreamed! |
