@Mangetout has made the same observation. I think the extra Billion is just typical scammer exaggeration.
r_c, do a reverse image search, identify where it was taken if you can, and declare that she sure gets around.
That’s clearly a catalog/web store shot. No matches on several sites. That’s one thing the scammers seem to have learned is to use images that are not commonly indexed.
Worth noting those are also square dollars, since the number is prefixed AND suffixed with USD terms.
I have been offered cubic dollars in the past and very occasionally higher dimensions than that.
Hell, moons are cheap
Even discounting the second billion as a typo because you shouldn’t have both the dollar amount & word spelled out There are only 15 individuals in the world who are worth $50 billion. At least some of them a significant portion of their wealth is tied up in stock of the company they founded. A full selloff of their shares would have a negative impact on the stock price. I’m willing to bet these 15 individuals might have consulted with a tax professional once have an entire team managing their assets, which includes estate planning & that isn’t give it all to some random stranger.
If it was some type of (mutual) fund that was being shut down, the funds would go back to the investors, not to some random stranger.
These ridiculously large amounts don’t even pass the sniff test of plausibility.
…& what’s that address at the top? I’ve heard of New York, NY but where is New YNO WAY DO BY MY Sork, NY?
They’ve copied and pasted that in from somewhere (why would you need to know when construction started?) . Perhaps from somewhere that has the information formatted in such a way as to hamper copying and pasting.
And who gives an address including the number of floors and height of a building?
Fairly recently the bait amounts have been skyrocketing. I’m hoping it means fewer people are falling for mere millions.
I was thinking it was some sort of tourist pamphlet or online equivalent.
It’s worth noting also that some of these scam templates may have been edited by people whose first language is not English, and perhaps doesn’t use the Latin alphabet. It’s a lot easier to make silly mistakes in that kind of context
It has been hypothesised that the implausibility of the emails is a deliberate choice to filter out any potential participants who are sufficiently switched on and paying attention.
I’m not sure I believe that happened on purpose, but I do think it’s a thing that could have evolved, since there is selection and differential advantage in the mix.
“I’d like to buy the Golden Gate Bridge. Here’s my debit card…and could I get an extra $70 million back, too?”
Now I’m wondering what building the info listed is from. It doesn’t match anything in NYC from those specs. I am curious, but not enough to waste any (more) time searching.
Same script from 2021 but for only 3.5 million. Not even million million.
“We only give change on a purchase of two bridges or more. Would you like to add the Bay Bridge or Dumbarton Bridge to your order?”
I donno, for $50 billion billion I’m tempted to risk some iTunes cards! What could go wrong?
jk
I’m certain my friends at JG Wentworth can help out. If only I could recall their phone number.
On the other hand, the full $50 billion can buy a fair amount of cat food. You know, for tradition.
Got an email that the tickets have been played. Just a “click this(certainly dodgy, possibly problematic) link”. From behind a VPN, opened a private window and went to Browserling, an online sandbox browser, to actually check out the link. What a surprise, one of the tickets won. $442,996
While I was typing this, got another email that I now have a personal manager on my account.
Oh, look, it’s starting to get a clue.
Hello Peter,
I understand that your words might be intended as a joke, but they make me feel a bit uncomfortable. I’m not sure that discussing such things is appropriate, especially when it comes to a potential meeting. It’s important to me that our communication is based on mutual respect and understanding. I hope you understand where I’m coming from.
Believe me, I’ll respect you the next morning. I just believe that the most important aspect of a relationship is complete candor. I like what you have up front. Are they at least a C cup? It’s hard to tell with the loose clothing you wear.

Hi, dear!
I have some amazing news for you that will definitely brighten your day! Remember the lottery ticket I gave you?
You won! At first, I couldn’t believe it—I thought it was some kind of mistake.
But I received an official notification by email, and I immediately logged into the lottery site to check everything. It’s true!
Look, I took a screenshot—see for yourself:
Did they send you access to your personal account? If not, check your “Spam” folder; sometimes such emails end up there.
If you can’t find anything, you can request access from them directly.
I’m also sending you a photo of the ticket they gave me when I bought it.
You need to write to the address provided there to find out what steps are needed to claim your winnings.
Just imagine how incredible this all is! I couldn’t believe it until the last moment.
Before writing to you, I ran to the shopping center to find out if it was a mistake.
When I showed the girl my personal account, her face was priceless—she was so surprised that she couldn’t say anything at first!
She told me to collect the money as soon as possible because the time to claim it is limited.
If we miss the moment, it will be too late. Imagine how disappointing it would be to lose such an opportunity!
We simply must do this because fate has given us a chance, and there may not be another.
Do you remember how fate brought us together? First, we met online, and now this win—it’s definitely not just a coincidence.
I feel like this is a sign from above. It’s as if the universe itself decided to reward us for all the good we do.
I’ve always dreamed of meeting a caring and generous man like you, and now this luck has come along with you. It’s amazing!
But right now, the most important thing is to act quickly.
Please contact them right away, find out what you need to do to claim the prize, and write to me.
We’ll discuss how to go about it, as only you can collect this money—the ticket is registered to your email, and no one else has the right to it.
I can already picture us celebrating our success together.
You know, my dream is to go to Paris or Dubai with you so that you can give me a bouquet of flowers and a ring.
Just imagine: we’re in a luxurious hotel, taking a bath and enjoying each other’s company.
You want that too, right? We deserve it!
I know that dreams come true when you visualize them. And I can already see all of this becoming a reality.
Write to me as soon as you find out all the details.
I’m eagerly waiting for your response and dreaming about it all day!
Hugs.
Yes, I saw the notification, it was hard to believe it was real. Can you predict the stock market next?
I’m not willing to go to Paris or Dubai, both are the products of governments that are more committed to pandering to the wealthy than human rights.
Of course, I’d like to take a bath with you, it takes away the bad smells.
Besides a ring, would you also like a rimming?

This one I don’t remember answering but she has my name so it was likely days ago and I deleted it as not answered.
My answer at the time was along the lines of “I’m a tired,old man and not worthy of you.”
The hilarity is the graduation photo attached.

Hello, Irina,
That’s quite a graduation robe you’re almost wearing.
Peter Mosse
You should tell her that you are a surgeon also and ask if she prefers open or laparoscopic approaches for a right hemicolectomy. Or how many Whipple procedures she’s done. Which postoperative antibiotics she prefers and why.
