lav-chan Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Congrats! So what your like a millionare now ? 585124726[/snapback] Well, my dad sure doesn't spoil me, so i doubt i'll see any of the money. But as far as what we actually get, it'll be in the millions. Those three companies don't actually have a billion dollars, so we probably won't ever get that, but we will get what they do have, which (like i said) is supposed to be millions. I don't know anything else about the actual 'winnings' besides that.

ericnmu Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 How are you garanteed any money? Those companies have no records, no phone numbers, and they arent in the BBB.

Those companies have no records, no phone numbers, and they arent in the BBB.585125279[/snapback] It's a little tricky, i suppose, but they've got it figured out more or less i guess. The one from Arizona, they actually have identified the person responsible for that. He and his 'wife' (there are documents claiming they're married and other documents claiming they aren't, and they use different names and stuff, it's a very tricky business they've got down there) have been identified, and my dad has even looked at the property he owns in Tempe. I mean it's in Arizona and all, but it's pretty rad anyway. :rad: Don't know about the guys in Florida, but i imagine they know who they are too.

jkrupa128 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 As I learned when I received my inheritance, GET A LAWYER.. There will be alot of scammers who claim to be your friends with sick dogs and grandmothers and such but look at who was your friend BEFORE this happened and rely on them only. People are snakes and will try anything they can to suck money from you. Trust me I've been through it in the past 6 months, when I got my 8 million.

Toxikk Veteran Posted December 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 19, 2004 read the article closely.... Kramer's attorney, Kelly Wallace, said he is unlikely to ever collect the judgment, which was made possible by an Iowa law that allows plaintiffs to claim damages of $10 per spam message. The judgments were then tripled under RICO."We hope to recover at least his costs," Wallace said.
