Hi all,
Wow, I didn’t even realise these were still in circulation, I was recieving these emails 5yrs ago, you’d think they’d try something else once in a while. Saying that there must still be a lot of people believing them or they wouldn’t carry on.
I actually think I get more scam and spam in my inbox than genuine emails
