FROM HENRY CARR

A reader forwarded me this scam.  This scammer starts by telling me that he is writing to me “because cool penny is better than millions of dollars”.  He goes on to tell me that it is better to be poor and honest than rich and dishonest.

What does he do next?  What do you think?  He pretends to offer to send me millions of dollars.  He’s a liar a  scammer and tells me he’s a Christian.  Presumably he will rot in hell in his after life.

Meanwhile, in this life, ignore him.  Henry Carr is a scammer who wants to take your money by charging you fees.
