Just got an e-mail at our gmail account (beatconnectionla at gmail). Haven’t had one of these guys in a while and thought I’d share. It came from a man named “Jackson Joseph” and was signed Mr. Jackson

Business Proposal

Business Proposal

I’ll do this Tosh.0 style… 20 seconds on the clock:

1. I didn’t know Saturday Night Sessions owned a bank? (although to be fair, SNS bank is a real institution)
2. You did a search on our last name? So the man’s last name is Connection? First name Beat?
3. Hmm he had 9 million dollars even huh? Not a penny less? Not a penny more? I like round numbers :) They make me happy.
4. Oh if I’m interested you just need my full LEGAL name along with my address? Would you like my social security number too? I’d like this money as fast as possible!
5. Would you perhaps like me to set up a wire transfer of a small sum so that you can then set up the transfer of the large sum back to me? I wouldn’t mind that at all!
6. Oh no! It may be unlawful to read this and not delete it if I’m not the intended recipient. Luckily I am, in fact, Mr. Connection so we can just take of this right now. I hope it’s not my cousin, STD Connection. Haven’t seen her in a while. (Sarah-Thomas Dean)
7. I am actually surprised that this thing is fairly grammatical… whatever happened to the good old scam letters that were in broken Engrish?
8. I find it weird that the head of payments of your bank (Jackson Joseph) is e-mailing me just to discuss this small matter. No phone call? C’mon!

I’m going to reply with a fake name and address to see what happens next. Stay tuned for more developments in this fascinating investigation.
