i do love the way there's always a doctor with an english sounding forename name and african surname involved! and though they try their best to sound english they manage to miss a few important words giving the game away!

these emails are what the "delete" and "report phishing scam" buttons were invented for!

Set up a hotmail address and tell them you are old and vulnerable. Your daughter has asked you not to reply to this type of email because some of them are not genuine.

The responses can provide weeks of entertainment. I have read some of the email exchanges published on scam busting websites.

Just never agree to meet up with their contacts.

sounds genuine to me

The Doctor chap is a real nice guy , he suggests my money should be in my account by close of play next Thursday , the whole deal has only cost me £500 , I get £6,000,000 great innit !!!

Errr Yup great, I wouln't spend it quite yet though I have a great mail I send out to these herberts, I'll post it up later!
