Here is an email I just received. I have just become a millionaire, but I'm slightly disappointed that I'm only going to get 50% of the money that is due to me. How will I cope?

That must be the quickest $5.5m I have ever made! So sad about the entire family dying in a plane crash. Has anyone else reading this ever earned this much money this quickly? I am already thinking about all the houses I'm going to buy with all this loot!

Is it just me who wants to club to death any stranger who contacts me and starts with, "Dear Friend"?

[andy at handiwork]

Has anybody on here NEVER received one of these types of email? That really would be worth telling the world about.

Some clever geezer turned the tables on one of these bastards a few years ago. He wrote back demanding proof of who he was and got the twatt to hold up a newspaper so the date could be verified by and email attachment, and got the twatt to mail him 10 or 20 quid to prove faith.
The fucking idiot did it as well. What a bunch of twatts these lot are.
It was posted on the net and I remember having a larf.
Unfortunately these bastards prey on the fact that there are some extremely stupid, gullible and greedy people in this country.
I got half of 12.7mil when I responded and went and bought a mansion in Park Lane.
So I am extremely stupid, gullible and greedy.

[max_tranmere]

Some gullible people do actually respond to these. More fool them.

[max_tranmere]

Everyone has had loads. For a laugh it would be good to reply to one of these airheads and ask them to forward the cash to you, and when they do you will send them a small admin fee in gratitude for the millions you have now acquired!

They always seem to be Nigerian for some reason.

Park Lane? A nice road with top views of Hyde Park, but there is so much traffic between you and the park. No, I think I will buy my mansions in the backstreets of Mayfair - quieter and less traffic. I am already planning which houses to buy. I can't wait to receive my $5.5m! lol.
