You people kill me. It goes without saying that you don’t post confidential information on the internet. That is beyond foolish and people who lose money falling for such scams probably deserve what they get. As for Hbk4894 (or, maybe it was Hbk4895, I don’t recall), he doesn’t ping my “phishing meter” in the least. He PM’ed me in private. That right, private…so no personal information would be exchanged in public. Very safe and secure, I assure you. Did you know that he is a Nigerian prince? That’s right, he is (he even sent me a photo of his Nigerian Prince [medallion](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51hlc68GzSL.jpg), to prove it, as well as this official [portrait](http://images.hellogiggles.com/uploads/2015/10/12/peewee-620x400.jpg)—yes he is quite the dapper fellow). I can tell you unequivacably that **Prince Hbk** (first born son of King and Queen Hbk of the Commonwealth of Nigeria) is on the up and up…and quite generous, to boot He, quite generously told me he would personally send me a cashiers check for $30,000,000, if I just wired him a measly $25,000 (some sort of complicated Nigerian banking regulation nessesitates this small sum to free up the $30-million). So, I wired him the money. It’s been 3 months, and I still haven’t received my $30-million, but the Prince assured me that Nigerian mailmen are quite slow, and I should receive my windfall any day now. So, soon I will be lounging on my yacht, smoking cigarettes wrapped in $500 bills, laughing at all you naysayers. ---

My porn star name is Shafter 666 (lol!) To figure out _your_ porn star name, simply take your name exactly as it appears on your credit card, and then add the last 3 digits of the number on the back. ---
