Ha sucker, I just replied to that email but giving my details - it must be legit because £1,000s of credit has been set up in my name (word must have got around all the banks) and a load of police have turned up outside with lots of flashing lights (obviously delivering the cash to me with armed security). Email you from Rio!

I worked as a researcher trying source materials, the scam emails I got were terrible but funny.

It seems you will have to set up about 125 savings accounts to be within FSCS limits for your 'fund' that has been approved "via his desk".

The most strange thing is that they have not asked for your birth date. Presumably this might be because they already have made assumptions on that - i.e. you were born yesterday!
