i get about five a day all similar, sad thing is some people do reply and get conned out of thousands

Everyday I usually get the following emails....:-

An offer to help an orphan get money out of a country before her evil uncle can claim it.
An offer to help a bank manager get money out of a closed account containing millions before the corrupt government does.
A dieing woman who wants all her money to be invested in christian good causes.
My inheritence fund must be claimed quickly or I have the same surname as someone who has left millions but no-one else to claim it.
Won an "on-line/email" lottery with Microsoft, Amazon, Volvo, etc
I need to contact a courier company who are trying to deliver my £1.3million in cash.
An offer to help process an international companies payments and I get to keep 10%-20% of the value.
A bank saying I haven't collected my £2million thank you from them.
A businessman who wants to invest in another country.
A bank, ebay, paypal or other service saying I need to click the link and heck my login details as they have either just updated to a more secure system or noticed strange activity on my account and I must log in and check it...
An orphan who has £6million and will give me half if I claim I her relative so she can get out of the country.
Offers of cheap drugs, watches and software


They are simply playing the gready numbers game. They send out several million of these every day and even if just 1% reply and 1% of them get roped in then they can earn a years pay. Some people who have gone to the Ivory Coast or other places to check out that its for real have ended up kidnapped and held for ransom....... The bank ones are probably their most profitable as they will finally send you an email from a bank you actually deal with and if you click the link you go to "their bank" and end up entering your login details.... as soon as you have done that they are right behind you logging in and emptying your account.......

In the words of NYPD blue........... Be careful out there.......

If you reply they know that the email address is in use and looked at so all they do then is pass your details on to someone else, usually by selling it. You can buy 1million active email addresses for about £500 these days. The most common way for them to get email addresses other than using web trawlers to scan sites for email addresses, is from e-card sites and also from having their email addresses added to chain letters..... You know the ones you get from your friends that have been passed on and on to different people..... Well all they do is start by posting out their acive email address on to a few sites and wait for someone to email them a funny pic or something and then they just add their address to the list and send something different to everyone that was on the original list. Many peoples email client will automatically add the new address to someones group and so the next time they send something to all their friends the rogue address is included and so they get a list of all of your friends email addresses and so it snowballs onwards. So if you do get the urge to "forward" a funny to all your mates just think first and delete all the previous addresses asigned to that email....

Anyhoo Steve I thought you were HMCS not HWCS, and Stevie we stayed in the Village hotel in SA1 again, you need to go get the contract it's only 5 floors high  and whoever is doing it is using a cherry picker and doing it trad, when there is clearly no need to cherry pick it a saving of (my guess) £350+vat, go in and see the Head of Housekeeping. I was very tempted myself.
