Hi Tony
Surely you must have seen 'Fonejacker'? George phoning from the bank to ask for the account details and sort code to send the 'monies'?
I was getting some crap from someone called Jan Smith offering all sorts of rubbish, I emailed back with some choice words asking her to desist and got a reply saying that it was me who was sending the same sort of emails to her!
By the way, I am stuck in a pub and have run out of monies-can you send me £50 ? I promise I will send it back when I get home!!! lol

Hi Guys,

A sham and scam for sure but if it were me who received that message I would have some fun and string them along.

One guy stopped emailing me when I suggested we meet up for an expensive dinner so I could personally thank him for letting me know about the large lottery win I didn't even have a ticket in.

Regards,

Callum.

Typical Carl, are you sure your not a Jock.

And here I was about to call your local and buy the next round

Yep, scam. Scopes.com is our friend.

Makes me think of a Michael Scott quote, "Hey--when the son of the deposed King of Nigeria emails you directly, asking for help, you help! His father ran the freakin' country, OK?"
