I think the hotmail address somewhat gives it away....

[B00]

Honestly John, you need to ask?

Of course it's a scam!

You get nowt for nowt in this world you know!

PS
Try googling that Margaret Morgan, see what it throws up.

[squarebear]

also the fact that this sort of scam has been going around for years should give you a clue.

[MONTCRIEFF49]

[GetOverIt]

Wow ! You're rich !

[B00]

[Quoi]

Can you just check your dictionary to see if the word 'gullible' is in it.

[whiffey]

I got one of these, complained about it, and received a postal order for �10 and an apology.

Whatever you do, don't give them any personal details.

[squarebear]

Who did you complain to whiffey. Surely it's only the scammers to blame?

[4GS]

the word gullible was taken out of the dictionary last year, didn't you know?

Ah well, I was going to throw a party at AB towers for all badge wearing members.

[whiffey]

When I got one there was an address and phone number on the back and I complained to them.

[mrs_overall]

I can't post a full answer as I have to send an urgent email to a lovely man in Nigeria who is going to put �4.5million in my account as soon as I send him my bank details.

[whiffey]

You won't get �4.5 million, maybe �100 if you're lucky.

They are not very truthful about these things and exaggerate a bit.

[B00]

So she deff wont get 4.5mill then?

Are you sure?

I need to know for certain before I offer to become her best friend you see.

Hello Mrs O!

[theonlyone]

I think you are a winner , no body would lie on the net , send your bank details ,and also to the Nigeria , as I also have won mega bucks !!!!!!!!!!

[squarebear]

Just to be serious for a moment. Did you genuinely believe you had won some money when this email came through 4GS?

[4GS]

squarebear
About as much as I believed the one I recieved two years ago informing me I had won �121,000, at least in this one they uped the ammount lol

[kethnoxe]

It makes me lol. Obviously after you confirmed that email, you will be asked to send some cash for the process and that will it a real scam. Its a scam.
