Me too, but apparently it was flagged as spam by the forum :

"Spam detection software, running on the system "main.donationcoder.com", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see

Good !

Does that mean we only get the money if the guy that died comes back to life?

Perhaps it was really he who patented the iPhone, and you all get your money if he recovers his patent.

I misread that. I thought he said patient.

I'm assuming he meant patient.

He patently meant something else.

Where there's a will - there are relatives.

Wow! 12.5M...

That's better than the best offer I got in my inbox this week. Seems some charming young Russian woman (here on student visa) saw me from afar at a recent (unnamed) gathering we both attended(?) - and has been frantically trying to get in touch with me ever since. Because I'm "everything ever dreamed of meeting."

Sent a picture along too. Nice dress. Very pretty legs! (Even my GF thought so.)

Hmm...why does a crack at that $12.5M somehow seem more believable than the above offer?

Cody magic? Makes everything that comes through DC seem better.

$12.5M here, $12.5M there… pretty soon it'll add up to some serious money. Seems to me this guy has a b in his jello.

Just as a follow up -- I'm glad someone alerted me to this spammer -- he sent a couple hundred forum spam messages before he was caught. I'm putting in place something to stop this from happening again.

Imagine how many friends you could *rent* with 12.5 million ...

mouser · « **Reply #20 on:** December 11, 2011, 08:02 AM »

Another follow up -- several people actually emailed me or forum messaged me right away to let me know about the forum personal message spammer -- but when they copied me the message he was sending in their email, what happened was that the emails to me got filtered out by spamassassin as speam and never made it to me!!

so if it happens again, someone make sure to send me a note about it without including the actual text of the spam message.

Why is everyone doubting this guy? People are so cynical these days.

I feel for you, Jafiq!

P.S. DonationCoder: Boooo!
