standards are definitely slipping. I was impressed by one I received 'cos it was the only one which quoted a helpline number - I rang it and it was Gatwick Airport lol

[Gormless]

You'd better reply double quick with your details otherwise you might get banned and shut down. Banks can repossess assets from idiots.

i've had a hotmail one tonight saying they are going to delete my account for security reasons but to avoid this i have to fill in my name , hotmail id and password.........they think we were born yesterday tut

I had one earlier as well, something about some fault from "Abbey" fakers.

Does anyone fall for these???

[Gormless]

I just got �1000 online off an idiot called dot.

I felt a bit bad about it, but I will spend it in Debenham's. Saucepans or socks I suppose, thrilling.

[craft1948]

you think you have problems with these t0ssers - they keep ringing me up from abroad asking me to run certain programmes to correct PC problems...ooh just after I've been doing online banking

[craft1948]

Gormless that wasn't a scam - she was paying for your body and got overcharged....

I've often wondered jenna - we get a lot on our works e-mail and I don't think anyone could be daft enough to believe them, could they?
Then again, some vulnerable people might in which case it's a horrible thing to happen

[joko]

...nice of them to take the time to let me know eh?

[cazzz1975]

I try to reply and be as helpful as possible, I am waiting for my 92 million dollars from namibia, I feel so good helping out this poor man who's uncle left him money, he only needed my account number.

[bensmum]

What a wonderful thing to do cazzz - must give you a warm, fuzzy feeling! :)

I get loads on m work e.mail as well and send them all to the reporting e.mail address.

Get loads of crappy spam as well and a lot comes from people with wierd names with the same initials as me which is a bit odd.

[Gormless]

My body is priceless. It bulges a bit, but I can still see little Tommy when I take a pee.

[cazzz1975]

[joko]

old people and people new to computers could i suppose...also people with learning disabilities or just low IQ could ii guess...

some must...or theyd surely not have been trying it for years...
