You must agree, it's different!
But probably the same. |
That's odd... Streetmap.co.uk couldn't find that postcode LD25BN anywhere. It also couldn't find a Chelmsford Street anywhere in London...
Still, trifling details compared to what is at stake. I should send them your bank details ASAP so they can get the money transferred :D |
It started off in English, then seemed to migrate to 419 Nigerian :bored: And why do these idiots have to always write numbers in words and then figures ?
Go ahead and claim the prize, I'm sure it will be worth it in the end...NOT :* |
Thanks guys (you cynics! :)) This seems a variation on the 419 scam but one I'd never seen before. Surprised it got through into my Gmail account as its pretty good at detecting spam normally. One for the killfile methinks :)

Not the Microsoft lottery - I should be so lucky! - but a new twist on the 419 Nigerian scam arrived in my inbox today. Apparently a person with the same surname as mine has died in suspicious circumstances leaving a paltry $7 million US. Of course if I present myself as the sole relative etc...... 30% of the gross is on offer. Well yeeha!

And I thought this was a thread by someone who'd actually managed to get XP to work without spending 6(six) years on the phone to a call center .....:E

Since last Aug I should have been in possesion of over 150million pounds according to the numerous lottery winnings. Even through my own Bank and asking them they knew nothing about it.
The scam to get your 14 million that only you or some others have won is sending 450 pounds sterling to a carrier such as DHL so they can handle the vastly important shipment your cheque. They want your passport or NI number address etc and for what purpose? Yup you send your £450 and never see the cheque or anything else. Natwest do not use hotmail addies so if anyone else gets one of these beware TnT |
That's nothing folks. Apparently I am the heir to the fortune of Mobuto Sese Seko. The former ruler of the Congo.
We are talking about billions of dollars here. Millions are for amateurs. |
My sister, a journalist, once replied to one of these e-mails and started a dialogue with them. As the conversation went back and forth, she made it increasingly clear that she was a priestess in a White Supremacist church (the Church of White Fire, I recall :)) They didn't seem to notice. She strung them along for a while but then got a bit bored. I think she was made to take the website down with the conversation on it as some do-gooder complained, but it was very funny at the time...

I've won £20 million in false lottery scams and legacies from relatives I never knew I had. As I intend to keep doing my day job (which I dearly love) I'll never get the time to spend all this, so anyone sending me their bank details can have a 5% share. :E
P.S. Disclaimer: For the intellectually challenged and/or terminally gullible - This IS a joke, btw |
I won a top of the range car in February in a competition I had not entered. Called the number and got put through to an African sounding chap, who was happy to take my bank details over the phone and wire me the cash there and then, as long as I agreed to release £1,000 as a holding fee to allow the car to be delivered!
Yeah right!!! |

Here's a couple of good websites if you want to have a chuckle at some of the more stupid would-be scammers out there...
