Woohoo, it seems I'm a millionaire. I got an e-mail at 11.39pm yesterday to say that I'd won £500,000 then six minutes later I won another £500,000! Sorry if I don't reply to any further posts as I'm on my way to book a one way flight to Rio.

Wow with all that money you can now buy some Viagra, penis enhancement pills AND help out that poor, sink, deeply religious woman from Nigeria who needs some money to reclaim the $10,000,000,000,000,000.56 inheritance she so desperately needs...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Yes ive won it a few times. One of the attached fliers had microsofts admin/claims centre as being on Stockport road, Levenshulme, Manchester 19. A particularly tatty area of Manchester which has a high asian/immigrant population. When i get the time,I'm going to go knock on the door to claim my prize. I just need to find the flier as its lost in my email. I might record the proceedings for amusement on youtube.
Oh just to add further, the address of the microsoft processing centre is apparently 124 Stockport Road,Longsight, M60 2DB
124 Stockport Road Longsight would actually have an M13 or M19 post code.
Here it is on street view.

Microsoft are obviously suffering from the credit crunch and have had to cut back !
The post code quoted on the letter is M60 2DB.
This relates to the main sorting office on Oldham Road, Manchester.
See here on streetview.

Now then, i could speculate that the perpetrator of this fraud works at the Royal Mail sorting office and that any incoming mail arrives in his sorting rack. He then pockets it and attempts to commit the fraud. I may forward my investigations to Royal Mail so that they can see what arrives in the in tray !0 -
...including the bit where one of their gangsta twelve year olds stabs you to death?
Now that would surely beat Susan Boyle in the ratings war...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Its ok,im used to dealing with criminal trash.
Having said that, i feel the resident of 124 Stockport Road has nothing to do with it. Its just a scam. The address is conveniently just up the road from Lonsight main Police station.
I feel that the sorting office interception route is the more likely.
A quick google shows over 1500 queries regarding the address.
Presumably there are lots of mugs out there thinking they will claim the prize ?
No doubt the royal mail are already aware as this address has been used for some time.0 -

I don't need the first two of these items :whistle: so it can all go to the poor woman in Nigeria.The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water

Shame, are you not getting any? :whistle:
There's no need to waste money on Viagra when a lollipop stick and some sellotape will do the job just as well.The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water
