Hey buddy... Wanna buy some stock. We bought them for a client, but he doesn't want them. We paid $80 a share, but we'll sell them to you for $10! You look like a smart guy, I'm sure you know that Lehman Brothers is a high end company! Look, it says here right on the certificate, $80!

Well there are huge sales right now, in almost every sector...but you better hurry! These deals won't last long!!

There is this guy in Nigeria who says he'll send me a few millions dollars if I front him some money so he can get the other funds out of the country.

If not that, buy stocks. There are some good deals to be had.

That Nigeria thing sounds pretty good. All I have to do is cut a cheque and then I get a bigger one back?

Yup. I'll be your middleman. My fee is only 10% of all money that changes hands.

I don't pay for fees for anything that I might be able to do myself!

You mean those things are REAL???? I totally thought they were fake. I mean, I get 4 princes a day offering to send me money from Nigeria. I always thought "there's no way there's more than 2 princes in all of Africa".

Huh.

Why? Aren't there that many alone in Michael Jackson's household?
