Haha, these mails are great entertainment.
I wonder if anyone are believing it…
Typical Nigera scam email. If you answer, you will get the info that you need to wire some money to get the cash. Its only a variation of these other Nigera scam emails where you should help a poor african man to wire the money for him to another place.
Machenka… sadly I believe people still do fall for these things.
Many more than we might imagine too I suspect… the same way many more people than most imagine open spam email and purchase things adverised in it.

Do you mean the message that I won a few million pounds in a lottery was a fake mail too?
Yes, Slamken. It’s a scam. Did you personally enter the UK Lottery? No? Then why would you expect to win? BTW, I know you’re referring to the UK Lottery not because you said pounds and not because I’m psychic (lol). It’s because I’ve received so many emails about winning the UK Lottery, I’d be able to buy my own country, if they were real!
Sorry,
Sharon
I’m so old, I was getting the Nigerian scam before Gore invented the internet, in good old fashioned postal mail
To be honest, I find this kind of mail much more entertaining than the ones that promise me to enlarge body parts I do not even have - or ask me if I would like to see Britney naked - being a 46 year old woman it’s not really what I am dreaming of…lol Though of course I know they are not that harmless, and that there are always people who believe in this rubbish.
lol, thanks for sharing Slamken
There is those gullible people still around though. I remember there’s this local program on the television called Crime Watch, focusing on Nigeriam Scam, and how some locals went for it and got conned big time.
Reminders like these should be given from time to time.
