Today we received a puzzling follow up from Mr. Ahmed... ______ Your Respond From Mr Ahmed;Hello Dear, Thank you for your mail and wilingness to cooperate with us. I have informed my contact and intimated him of your desire to work with him but the problem is that my client has a substantial amounts in cash to invest in a viable project.

If you have a good business plan please lets work on it as my client is very eager to get things off the ground and rolling. Sincerely, Ahmed ______ Hello Ahmed, Thanks for the letter. I will confess your correspondence puzzles me as we have no record of previously contacting you regarding a business opportunity. But while we're on the subject, how much money are we talking here? As I'm sure you've seen before in our Spam Bag feature we've received a number of interesting opportunities from fine folks just like yourself. We'd sure love to hear what you're offering so we can spread the wealth in all our free game shows. Hope we can get off the ground and rolling soon! Best, - Oh! Ryan Kelley Have some funny spam mail?

Posted by ohryankelley at 3:40 PM EDTA big congratulations to lucky Gamesviller Rholmes3412, of Ocoee, FL, who scored a big win TODAY in Three-Eyed Bingo and took home $3,096 in cold, hard cash! Rholmes3412's big jackpot isn't the only win worth celebrating today, as Zemlik83 of London, Ontario, won $81 playing Quick-Draw Poker. And there must be something lucky in the Canadian water, because yesterday another lucky Gamesviller, Susieq103 from all the way up in Woodstock, Ontario, won not $111, not $222, not $333, but a hair-raising $444 playing CatchUp Coverall!

Among them are a pair of cowboy boots bathrooms, house boats (not houseboats, but boats that are literally houses now) in California and a conch shell house from Mexico.

Best known for his work in establishing the teen coming-of-age comedy genre, Hughes, 59, will be sincerely missed. Hughes was considered to be a film genius of the 1980's, whose credits include National Lampoon's Vacation; Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Weird Science; The Breakfast Club; Some Kind of Wonderful; Sixteen Candles; Pretty in Pink: Uncle Buck; and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Below is a montage of Hughes' movies from the 1980's to music from The Who...

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:58 PM EDTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Janet1951 of Indianapolis, IN. Meet the head cat of her household, Dusty! Distinguishing Personality Traits Janet1951 says, "I rescued Dusty from an alley when he was just a kitten. He is now 4-years-old and is the head cat of our household. If his sister Tabby or brother Rocky attempt to get my attention when he's near, he smacks them. It's like if he's telling them, 'No! My mommy!'. Now we have a 4-month-old Lab/Shepherd mix. When Dusty was a kitten, I gave him a little stuffed bear; he's hiding it right now so the puppy won't get it. Dusty's favorite spots are on my computer table beside me, on top of the cabinet, and on the refrigerator as shown in the photo."

Topic: Spam Bag

We decided the best way to deal with all the spammers isn't to just "Send To Trash" but to share in the fun of openly mocking them with you, the GV community! Today we received a very lucrative offer from Mrs. Comfort... ______ My Dear,Please let this letter not to bring confusion to you. I know that we have not met either before but hear me from the dept of your mind. It is circumstances that made to send this to you. I will introduce myself first to you. My name is Victoria, I lost my mother a year ago. She was poisioned to death by her associate in business. She formed a company by one Mr. Brown who poisioned her only to take benefit of the multi million venture. I got through the records of my mother account books three weeks ago I discovered that there is a huge sum of money she deposited in a bank, which is $9,800,000. All I need from you is to do all you can to help me to get this money out of the bank. I have been to the bank where this money is deposited immediately, and confirmed the account most deligently. The bank told me that my mother informed them that the money was to be remitted to her company's costumer account abroad, which her costumer will provide to them but since then they have never heard from her nor the costumer. 1. I want you to provide an account where the money will be remitted into as my mother's costumer. 2. Make arrangement for me to leave here as soon as possible 3. How much commission you will take for rendering the assistant? Best wishes, Victoria ______ Hello Victoria, Thanks for the letter. While that certainly does sound like a lot of money that could be spread around all our free game shows we've got some questions of our own. First, with this type of transaction it seems odd that you'd have to reach out anonymously for help, why not hire someone within your country for assistance? Secondly, do you have proof that Mr. Brown was indeed responsible for the death? We'd love to help but this all sounds a little like a game of Clue to us. For all we know it could have been Colonel Mustard in the parlor with the candlestick. Good luck with your escape plan! Best, - Oh! Ryan Kelley Have some funny spam mail?

Posted by ohryankelley at 3:35 PM EDTLast month Gamesviller Futuresfaith of Columbia, SC won $136 (a DOUBLE JACKPOT because she is a GV Gold Member) in Quick-Draw Poker. We caught up with her to ask a few questions about her big win. What was this mother-of-three's moment of victory like? And what is the meaning behind her Gamesville member name? Find out below... Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?First I would like to thank god and my fans... Oh, sorry that's my academy award speech. I had just said goodbye to hubby who was on his lunch break and was multitasking around the house. I was doing three or four things at once--paying the bills, taking ingredients out for dinner, hollering at my teen to answer the phone and playing Quick-Draw Poker. When I had a rhythm going I went to click 'Deal' and saw a 'Congrats!' screen. I screamed, ran into the bathroom looked in the mirror and started doing the running man. What will you spend your winnings on? What do you do for a living? If you were stranded on a desert island what items would you bring with you? What is your most treasured possession and why? What does your Gamesville member name mean? Thanks, Futuresfaith - and congratulations again on your win!
