    Not only that, but the FBI, CIA, US government, UK lottery, and fraud squad use yahoo too!

    The things you learn... :p

    I'm afraid even quite clever people get bled dry/taken in by these emails, that's why there are millions sent out every day. Some very sad and understandable stories here:http://www.scam-info-links.info/ (that's a very good website for scam info/support, BTW).

    I keep getting them from natwest saying my account will be suspended if i do not take immediate action.
    I'd be interested how they suspend an account that doesn't exsist as i don't bank with natwest:rotfl:

    It's coming through my bank account - I've got a new job receiving the payments on his behalf. If you want me to send you the money as soon as it's here, just let me know your account details (oh, and your mother's maiden name so I know it's really you):D :D
