Two homeless men inherit 7 billion

[rhineoshott]

Totally kidding on that one guys.

Oh yeah, I forgot that I was going to comment on how if some lawyer from another country called me about an inheritance, I'd tell them to get bent and hang up. I wonder how difficult it was to convince the lady in America. It still sounds like a scam to me.

[theGinsue]

they have a "sister" in America (key),, she prolly has a good lawyer and will weasel it out some way.

$7 billion inheritance - divided by 3 heirs...that's a mere $2.33 billion/ea (before taxes).

Did they happen to mention the sisters name and where she lives? I'll marry her to get in on that action (I'll have to convince my current wife that this is a good plan).

Rhineoshott - Everyone knows that's the Nigerian Scam. You need to make money the easy way like I did. I just sold a car on Craigslist to a guy in Florida. He sent me a cashiers check to cover the cost of the car and enough to pay the shipping guy who picked it up plus an extra $200 for my effort. That was the easiest $200 I've ever made - and this guy paid the full asking price for the car. Yeah, who's the sucker! [The scenario identified is just for humor I'm not really a moron!]

My brothers and I recently found out that we own the mineral rights on aprox. 30 acres of land in Western Oklahoma, had no idea that we did. Near as we can tell, our great-grandfather was one of the settlers in one of the land rushes back in the 1800's, and this is some of the land that he nabbed.

Only reason we found out is because some oil company contacted us about leasing the exploration rights on some of the acres. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe they'll find oil and we'll make a buck or two!

Too bad we don't own the surface land too, it's in excellent deer & quail hunting country.

Is is a good area for gold? I wonder if you'd be allowed to prospect. (sluice, dredge, metal detect, pan, and use a dry wash)

That land in my family has stuff for both oil and uranium on it.

Um, western Oklahoma ain't known for producing gold. I seriously doubt there's ever been ANY found there. Oil, gas, wheat, and cattle is about it.
