[Peter Pedant]

they are out to get your money sweet one

[magicmick]

HMRC do not send out emails of this nature, do not reply caran

[Caran]

I know, what with the Nigerian one last night and now this. What's coming tomorrow?

[Daffy6543]

I get several scam emails a day, they just get deleted/blocked.

[Caran]

It's so obvious a scam, dear citizen. Not a hope in hell I'll reply.

[Baldric]

What with the previous one, it looks as if you've found your way onto someone's list!

[shoota]

Obviously a lady of substance....

[magicmick]

When I get an email like this I fwd it to this address,
[email protected]

[Caran]

Thank you magicmick I'll try that.

[Buenchico]

Damn! That's yet another email I've sent to Caran without a positive result. Grrr!

Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to go back to the old "I've got photographs of you doing something naughty" routine. She always pays up for that one.
;-)

[Caran]

I'll eagerly await it Chris!

I'm reminded of Arthur Conan Doyle's letter to five of his friends, simply saying "We are discovered. Flee now". One of them disappeared and was never seen again!

Always delete. Never ever reply. I've been getting a few lately from various banks(I don't use), credit cards(I don't have) and HMRC. Yesterday I got one allegedly from Amazon and another about my "BARCLAYSCARD". I forward them all to the various phishing/scam report sites and then delete delete delete. Wonder what today will bring? Maybe the Nigerian Royal Family will be getting in touch again and telling me that I've won their lottery... again! Boy oh boy, I'm soooo lucky. I just keep on winning these lottery prizes.

Does anyone have the foggiest idea of how AB's "Related Questions" algorithm works?

Top of the list: an AOG thread about… guess what? (A good read, it so happens).
