Hey Guys!

I get these all the time! Always saying they have some ''BIG BUCKs!'' received from so and so and looking for different avenues in trying to move it out of the country! If this was so then there's no reason to wonder why the country is in the shape it is! It's a scam and they want you to come up with some kind of security money in advance to receive your share! Yes this is the same gig as was seen on 60 mins!.............I tell these ''DIG DONGs!'' MY FAMILY IS ''H&^%*% M*^&#!'' SO TAKE YOUR ACT SOMEWHERE ELSE!...................ALOHA!!

BC Baron C.....................And the gang!!................Eindhoven Holland. ''LOVE TO GET MY HANDs ONE OF THESE NUT CASES!''
