New scam

[Dan505]

These emails are a great laugh and always make me chuckle

For some reason I get a couple of daily update emails from some chinese or japanese guy... shame I can't translate them :

If only I knew what it was he was trying to flog me

Well I'm rich, and a total liability according to my SPAM box. Ebay, Paypal, Barclays, LloydsTSB, Nationwide, Santander, Nat West, have all suspended my accounts until I verify them. Whereas Prince Umbugu, HMRC, National Lottery, and various other raffles, are all queuing up to give me money. Then again, someone must have let the cat out the bag, because Viagra is being pushed my way too... :

Me too - including the viagra and offers of enlargement of certain parts I don't have!

well some lovely chap in Nigeria tells me he will give me $1,000,000 if I can bank transfer him some funds temporarily. Sounds like a deal and a half to me I must give him all of my account details!

In all seriousness, its great that a lot of people recognise these scams, but for people like my nearly 80 year old uncle, I worry, I have warned him and he's pretty savvy due to my constant nagging to make sure he does'nt open anything he doesn't trust but as the scammers get more kiniving using what looks like legit emails etc I fear for the people who get caught out by it due to their own good nature to trust (Im talking about the hmrc and bank ones rather than Nigerians asking for money btw)
