I've won 815,000 euros!

Except I've not; so if anyone else gets a letter from Spain telling them that the Loteria del Rosario Romano is going to make them rich just ignore it. One of the few Spanish lotteries run by people with Nigerian accents apparently. Do these idiots really think no-one uses Google?

This one isn't a scam - you have won.

But you need the money more than I do so you can have the all important reference number off me for a tenner

I got half a million USD after being contacted by a Nigerian diplomat in hiding who needed to move 10 million USD out of the country. easiest half mill i ever made.

But you need the money more than I do so you can have the all important reference number off me for a tenner

Can I transfer the tenner? I suppose you just need my sort code, account number, PIN number, and the answer to my 'secret question'.

I really appreciate your generosity and commitment to sharing the wealth.

Just today I realised my working days were over - a Ukrainian business just needs me to help them speed up electronic payments as they currently have to wait 10 - 30 days for the money and it's affecting their cashflow. All i had to do was send them my name, phone number, current employment details and my address - bob's your uncle, money be my lady. .

we all know the secret answer is "use the fucking search you lazy cunt"

Yep, that's my mother's maiden name.

My father had a maiden name but he didn't like to talk about it

My flat mate gave a 'disabled scottish property baron' £1400 in western union/moneygram payments in response to an ad on gumtree for a dream flat.

She is a fucking dunce.

But she's got a nice pad now.

"pad"? surely a luxury contemporary apartment

I got an email from someone from the USA - this is true by the way - who is sending their 12-year-old son to the UK to be educated. Part of this plan, apparantly, is to hire me for two days a week of private harmonica lessons, over a six-month period. I have to get the ball rolling by letting the parents know what I would charge.

I get three or four such emails a year relationing to harmonica tuition. I am yet to reply to one...

especially odd if you don't play harmonica

Check this site out. This guy scams the scammer and gets them to join his church which requires them to have a tatto. He even got some money out of one guy!

I actually do play the harmonica and teach it - www.myspace.com/daveshannonsdeadcatbounce - but these emails seem to come from the same keypad as those lottery and investment ones thae begin 'Dearly beloved'

But she's got a nice pad now.

As a matter of fact, she does, but she's paying about £60 pw too much for it.

Attention:

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $950,000 United States Dollars, but I did not hear

from you since for a couple of weeks now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired
or getting near to expire and Dr.Wilson the Director Bank of Africa told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire.

So I told him to cash the $950,000 USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this
funds under expiration as I will be out out of the countryfor a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till ending of october 2008.

Consignment to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge,
Insurance premium. The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICES to deliver your Consignment direct to your

postal Address in your country is ($300.00 US) One Hundred & Fifty United States Dollars only being Security

I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in
case of demurrage.

You have to contact FEDEX COURIER SERVICES now for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow;
