I’ll get right on it… I could do with $1,500,000. I’m sure that free email account at Yahoo.de is legit and they’ll hand over the cash because I won their competition… even though they have no clue who I am whatsoever!
That ‘s another way of spamming
I had one similar this morning. However it was all about how AOL and Microsoft had a contest. It had free accounts from hotmail.co.uk.
Wow, I won that lottery a couple of weeks ago too! I guess we’re both rich beyond the dreams of avarice Neil. So – Ferrari or Porsche? Race ya
Hey Neil,
I know why you are shielding this real issue from us – you’d already collected your cool $1,500,000.00 and don’t want to share with us
Laugh — what a thing and a funny way some guys wants to scam others to make money via internet.
Lazy bunch
How can you guys all win the competition too! Harumph.
Speaking of competitions, this one is legit:

The sad thing is that people will reply and provide their information.

Another nigerian scam.
I don’t see what it has to do with Nigeria, but hey. I remember posting copies of the “Nigerian fee scam” email at Scamfreezone.com back in 1997/8.
Mike, thanks for the nomination.
Neil.

Dan Florin Says, ” Another nigerian scam.”
Maybe it emanated from Nigeria. But that does not mean you should align all or similar scam mails with Nigeria. I am from Nigeria and I am writing this from Nigeria.
Scam is an international thing and not from a particular country.
You’re right Dan, and it’s not nice for the law-abiding people of Nigeria… but I don’t think the label “Nigerian Fee Scam” is going to go away because Nigeria is where it originated.
