    they got hold of my messenger address.

    Sweet lady, she started off by saying she was on tv and a model and then said she was in west africa but her agent couldn't wire funds to her.

    she then asked me if I could open a bank account in my name for her. I said I had a ccj which puzzled her.

    Then she said if I could send her some money to pay for a flight she would 'reward' me when she got back.

    Regarless to say I told her/its where to stick her rewards. Big scam.

    Luckily for myself, i am very wary of everything, and would never fall for this. Fancy targeting folks trying to SAVE money! [EMAIL="tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL]!

    I may email her back, last time i advertised a stereo in free ad i got emails asking to ship it to Africa, and pay now then they'll refund me! I kept them going for a few days. Quite amusing. DD has just dropped off for an afternoon nap so I may start the games!

  • freak! def not english, i'd say. shall we bombard her inbox?

    Tempting but probably better not too, unless you don't mind excessive amounts of spam. :)
    Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p

  • nevermind, she's just slipped herself up, she's now 32 and a model, not 35 and a sales admin. still from bristol though! mind you, the profile photo she uses on msn suggests nothing like 32 years old!!! **Don't worry folks, i know its not real**.
