    Strange that you all think they are scams. The other day I received my $23,000,000 dollars from my unknown uncle and his family who unfortunately died crashing into a dead mosquito in the Peruvian jungle.

    However, my bank balance now reads $23,000,010 which will do me just fine!!!

    Al.

    P.S. I didn't know that Robert Mugabe was on the $100 bill?!?
    Pressed rat and warthog closed down their shop!

    The original email scam came out of nigeria, but these days they come from all over, mainly west african countries. About a year ago I had my email account hacked into and the perp sent an email to all my contacts saying I was stranded in senegal and could i borrow some money for the flight home Funny thing was I had my online bank details (usename/passowrd etc) stored in my drafts. He could have completely wiped me out if had been smart enough

    I read one of those stories recently. It was only for $3, but it was hilarious as the baiter had the scammer calling him "father" towards the end. Amazing how dumb these people turn out to be once theyve got beyond their template emails and have to write in their own words.

    Yeah ... and as I've mentioned before on here, these scammers almost invariably give themselves away by prefixing their names with Mr ... as in THIS particular case - Mr Benson Edward. Never fails!

    As any self-respecting business correspondent is aware, this sort of practice is "bad form" ... and "just not the done thing"!
