MrBlueSkye says Toodle pip and goodbye.

For many years (since Micronet days) I have been bouncing around the Newsgroups. To all of you who know me or have heard of me I bid you a fond farewell in advance. Unfortunately it?s looking like MrBlueSkye will be clocking off for good shortly. A recent emergency visit and hospital stay in my local cardiac unit has revealed that I have an Aortic root aneurism that has billowed to 60mm instead of the 20mm it should be, it doesn?t help that I also have Stenosis of my aortic valve which also needs replacing and also need a bypass. Any aortic aneurism is considered dangerous, but a 60mm one is considered to be extremely dangerous and ready to rupture at any time, meaning the end for me. Normally open heart surgery has a good chance of rectifying my 3 heart problems, but as my health has been poor for sometime and my general physical condition is not good enough, the surgeons will not operate on me. I?m posting this to quite a few ng?s partly as a way of saying:

Hello I Paul Jones (MrBlueSkye) was here.

My other motive (and I am embarrassed to have to ask this) But needs must.

Is to ask any of you that can afford it to send me what you can. My financial position is that I am in debt to one of the major Banks for a large sum of money (of course this will end with my death) This was brought about when a Company called Charter Furniture who were operated by out and out scoundrels (they were in turn owned by Cheshire County Councils pension fund) went to the wall leaving my small family business with a debt of £86k. I was forced to close, left penniless and saddled with a very large bank debt. I?m asking for anything you can afford to pay some bills as I will be leaving 2 sons and a wife who will struggle. Now I know there will be many cynics reading this, to you I say please don?t send a load of abuse and negativity, the latter is something I have to much of at the moment. Just hope it never happens to you. I am posting this also to a number of police and legal groups, and I?m sure that some suspicious bright spark out there will be checking out the facts therein.

For those that do contribute many thanks in advance, for those who don?t a kind thought and little prayer will be fine.

MrBlueSkye

That I can do, but the rest of the story absolutely stinks I'm sorry to say.

I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this but most no doubt will be too polite to say it and will ponder in silence.

I might suggest too much of a Nigerian scam tone to it. And would suggest anyone nearly contemplating a sympathetic leaning towards the post be very very cautious.

Preying on peoples inner nature and protection of anothers siblings.

I've seen many a similar scam letter but this really has to be the best to date.

In fact, normally I would just ignore such posts, but something deep inside is telling me that this really _is_ something that everyone needs to ignore and NOT give way to any emotional manipulation caused by this very cleverly worded scam.

As for A Cheshire county council owning a a small business well, that HAS to be the biggest give away. Then there's the bit about it being posted to "police and legal groups" FFS. It's a mass mailing to hit serveral thousand readers and offers an easy way to pay money via pay-pal and bank transfer.

It absolutely STINKS and I hope the purpetraitor (sp) get's exactly what he/she deserves.

SCAM

It looks like the same message has been posted to every .uk group in existence.

"MrBlueSkye",

I think the name is apt for an old scammer- even *if* you are truly ill. ;-)

BTW, what's the name and address of your bank so that I can send my donation (titter) directly to the account? LOL

A rather cynical

Who will gladly accept any monetary donations to his kitchen repair and redecoration fund from those soft hearted people of this group.

The reason for this request for alms: the wife has gone into overdraw mode, and the government has refused my request to bail me out of trouble by nationalising her - bloody Labour government!

Also a "Mr Blue Sky" posts on an anti-fraud site publicizing such scams, including ones from a Paul Jones (aka Greg Allen perhaps also aka Paul Smith?). Getting his own back?

Thanks Grumps, but I think I'll forgo any donation to that account!

I'm not defending him or his motives, but he didn't say that.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "MrBlueSkye" saying something like:

Too bad. If your story is true you have my sympathy, but not my coin.
