$5 million. Cool!
I've sent them my details.0 -
That is brilliant . Thanks for the heads up . I notice boris Becker's name isn't listed
On a slight tangent :for the first time in absolutely ages I looked into my junk mail folder. The amount of scams that get intercepted without my knowledge is alarming really . Mainly Eastern European / Russian people in search of love .
Yes , really0 -
This is not new and its a waste of time discussing scammers here

What's new about this? This type of email has been doing the rounds for years. It's an obvious scam just from reading the first line!0

Its good that you are being vigilent, but you really dont need to share this with anybody.
It is clearly a scam attempt and follows an age old template.
Delete and ignore0 -
It probably comes from an internet cafe in Nigeria.0

So being gullible is voluntary?0 -
My gmail scam box is full of Scandinavian 'women' offering me many kinds of sexual delights, all the time. If I could understand the language I might even receive a little light entertainment from them. 'Delete Forever'.
My Outlook Junk box has at least two "Adult Dating" messages every day, from several 'made up names'. This has been going on for ages, the sender addresses are obviously automated, because I block every one but they come back with another address. The names are now being repeated: perhaps they are running out of 'sexy' English names!
All part of the wobbly worldwide wotsit!I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

If you're interested I receive several from young Russian beauties, and their English is usually quite good. I'm sure I can spare a couple of them for you. Just let me know how many of their email addresses you want.:D0
