So, to help him out, I have sent him all my details inc Name, DOB, address and postcode, current account sort code, account number, three digit security code and PIN, and just in case there are any problems my home and mobile phone numbers and NI number. I so want to help that I also sent my photo, passport info page and a jpeg of my signature. All I have to do now is sit back and wait for the $2.75 million to be transferred.

Think I'll go for a pint to celebrate.

Sounds as though you'll be able to fund a giant VV jamboree WM

[Workingman]

Jen, I have my eyes on booking a country hotel for a weekend. Residence, travel to and from. meals and drinks on me.

[saundra]

Can I come to WM
How exciting for you
Money money money

[Kaz]

Drinks are on you then, on Tuesday?

[cromwell]

Let's all send money to the Bank of Benin,
There's thousands been sent
But there's not much left in!

[JanB]

You can all come here and we'll have such a great time

[AliasAggers]

I don't like the sound of it, Frank.

Are you having us on?

[Workingman]

Not in the slightest, Aggers. My last paragraph was just me being silly, I never sent anything, didn't reply just sent it to spam. It will be auto deleted when I close down. How about a screen shot of the actual email?



It's a rehash of the old 'Nigerian Prince, philanthropist and social campaigner who has sadly died heiress leaving a fortune...' scam that was doing the rounds in the '90s.

It's a numbers game and there are plenty of money-for-nothing greedy people out there who will go for it. I hope nobody on VV is daft enough.....

[TheOstrich]

So let me get this right, then, WM.

If I send you my account details, you'll promise to transfer half of that $2.75m over to me?
