And I thought my fortunes had taken a turn for the better...

When I got the e-mail this morning I could hardly believe my luck. But, it's not to be.

Why do I never get these emails?

[Duncer]

I know an altruistic Nigerian multi-millionaire I can pass your details to..........

[sandyRoe]

You have to admit the scammers are ingenious if nothing else.

[humbersloop]

bang goes taking out a contract on the neighbours then sandy...

just jealous I didn't get one really

[marval]

This one I haven't had, but I have had plenty offering me money.

[craft1948]

I get loads of these into my throwaway email account, but none in my main account.

[sandyRoe]

We can't all be lucky, Humber :-)

[humbersloop]

marvels at marvals new avatar, blimey

to do anthing in particular marval?

[marval]

Anything goes humbersloop

[funnygirl]

I got one earlier this year proporting to be from the big winners at that time.
I got it at work and you should have heard the squeals of joy coming from me.
Luckily I calmed down and realised it was a scam just before I told my boss where to go!!!!

[emmie]

trouble is there are some very gullible people out there.

[humbersloop]

anyway sandy,is avarice a mortal sin, or just plain old venial? I always get so muddled up ;)

[craft1948]

I like the sound of 'venial'................

[emmie]

craft, sounds like an anti social disease.

[sandyRoe]

Avarice is one of the 7 deadly sins.
The act that led to contracting a venereal disease could hardly be other than a mortal sin, not a venial one.
