Just wondering......

Francois (below) is only offering a 60/40 split - I would have thought that 50/50 would be fairer

Are these dudes getting tighter with their funding ?

I don't think I should "details" him with all my identity info without him giving me his, even if my "account risk is 100% free" (whatever that means).

Still, I guess it is nice to be called "Dear"

oops - I've just noticed that I haven't kept it confidential - oh well there goes $6m

Mate Francois is doing all of the work, no wonder he wants 60% [tonguewink]

Only 40 per cent? That's not enough. Demand 60%.

He wants a double share because there are at least 2 of him - " My names are... "

I had a call yesterday telling me that I had a serious problem with Windows that he needed to fix.

I was quite disappointed at how easily he gave up when I told him that I use Linux rather than Windows as my operating system.

I expected a bit more persistence. How is he ever going to con people if he gives up that easily?

I think next time I get that call I will try a different approach to ensure that he makes a bit more of an effort. I will tell him that if he explains to me exactly what he thinks he problem is and how he detected it, that in return I will tell him why everything he says is impossible.

Hi,
I got a good circular argument when I enquired which Windows computer of 5 would it be.
Surely if he knew one was infected it would be identifiable.

After about 10 minuets he cracked, and spilt a mouthful of profanities.

GOT HIM!

Cheers
