They use a very odd system of semi-robocalls.  On the first call, I said, sure why not?  ON the second call  they blasted me with an screed for a donation of 25 dollars to cover the “large expenses” of their effort.  If I weren’t such an old Yankee skinflint, I might have gone for it.  But it began to seem to me that for 12.5 million dollars forms the basis for a mighty good business plan.  I am trying to confirm that it is a scam, but until that time, I thought I would alert you all.  FWIW, they made scambusters.    Now, you’re all going to write back telling me that OF COURSE it’s a scam; why am I so late to the party?    Signed,   Your Naïve Old Yankee Skinflint.    Nicholas S.
