Talking A special offer just for you...

Fair warning, this has nothing to so with birds. I'd say maybe you could count it as bird brained, but our birds are WAYYYY smarter than this!

My slimeball con man uncle has yet again offered our family a wonderful opportunity. I thought that I should also give you all the chance to get in on the ground floor of this not to be missed out on chance to become a millionaire! You are after all, my friends. We should all share the wealth.

My uncle has discovered a modern miracle. And with your small investment, you will be rewarded many times over. Seems he has been in contact with a real live scientist, and they have discovered, you're not gonna believe it...,

CONCENTRATED WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( just add water...)

Amazing, isn''t it??? Come one, come all! Dig deep into your pockets, and get rich quick!

As hard as it is to imagine, my uncle actually DID put this offer to us. Can you believe it?!!!
I'm thinking about getting into the bottled air business if anyone wants to get in on the ground floor of that....
heehee!

Oh no, Nanthee. can't take a check. This has to be cash only. My uncle had to put up his cash before the guy would even tell him about it! We don't want the government to steal this idea, you see...

Ok, being naive and somewhat gullible; is this for real? Is your Uncle really, seriously considering this? :aiwebs_01

Unfortunately, yes, the story is absolutely 100% true. My uncle is a veteran of the worthless pyramid schemes. He has actually paid someone he doesn't know, upfront without a clue what the guy was trying to sell, mind you, for the opportunity to buy into something that doesn't exist. The guy tells him he has invented concentrated water, and that all my uncle has to do is get somemore people to give him money. Then my uncle will be a very rich man!
What a loser!!!!
