    I thought these had stopped now they could scam on the internet lol.
    It's horrible though because some people out there will actually fall for this :( Ba-stewards

    Sadly the people whom will more likely fool for this type of scam are the OAPs whom don't have internet access and believe everything :(

    I had one of these by email once. I had to send them 800 euros for couriering the money :eek: or 500 euros for some fancy money order thing to be sent to me. The third alternative was that I could turn up at their Belgian offices between the hours of 13.00 and 14.00 at their offices on a date within a day or so of the email. I emailed back to say how exciting, but as I had no spare money, they could just pop a cheque in the post to me.

    Funny though, never heard anything back...:rotfl:
  • It's unbelievable the amount of long lost foreign relatives I have who have died over the last few weeks and have left me HUGE sums of cash! It must be real through, 'cause my mum has been getting the same emails!
    Off to send them a few thousand so I can recieve my millions! ;)

    i must have a very trustworthy looking email addy as I have people queuing up to give me the cash they had stolen from some bank or other. Not had one by post though, that's definitely more dodgy.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
