horribleblob Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 She asked you to keep it to yourself, and what was the first thing you did? Post it on a public internet forum .... tsk! To be honest, I received the exact same email, so Dalila is two-timing the OP anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygardener Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I used to get flooded by these damn emails, but since i had a default on a disputed credit card bill my credit rating took a hit. Since that i've not had one. I wonder if the nigerian conmen are more sophisticated and targetted than we think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygardener Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Be my guest. What about alerting the Euromillions, just in case they have an employee called jack parkinson who wants to cheat his way to a fortune? JK! I didn't recieve the email, you did. I don't have any ip address info, you do. You could have written your post up as a fake, i'm sure you haven't but all i could do is point to your post which has no evidencial value as all the details are public domain. Just forward the post to the email address i dug out for you and let them know they've most likely been hacked or one of their PA's has gone mental. Big society and all that - all doing our bit to prevent crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
