    I would do but I just sent all my money to Nigeria and I await my millions in return as the email promised.

    It seems amazing that people are willing to part with large sums of money to people with disposable hotmail/yahoo/gmail email accounts.

    Even better in the comments below that article is a cheeky and highly suspect offer of gold dust from Jacques Bossa.

    Do you think that name is an anagram, pmsl. I bet he is related to Miss Dorothy Mattuwaya who wrote offering me her hand in marriage yesterday.

  • This is obviously a con! Im currently looking to a rental property for 6months and keep getting emails frm ppl saying plz transfer 1k via western union so we can hold the property for u and know you are serious about renting it, how stupid do they think ppl are!

    On a side note Gold is still a great investment and will earn u more than an isa.
