Haha fantastic, DH got one the other day from a nun telling him she had some money for him to donate to ill children, if he'd just give her his bank details and send her £xxx for some reason or other.

Blimey, so because some people complained about cash machines, you are getting fourteen million quid?! There really are some stupid/gullible souls out there!

YANBU, that's a classic!

I've just been offered a tax rebate. From the US Internal Revenue. Something the government isn't telling us?

ps Send us a million when you get your card, will you, rainy, there's a dear soul.

Wow, go for it, what have you got to loose?

Empusa, I bet your husband jumped at the chance to help the poor old nun!

Annie, I could forward you the email and then you can get your own credit card! No need for me to share 14.6million gbp!!

Not quite sure why Barclays is dealing with the Federal Govenment and ATM machines!

I love the capitals and the email address of the official contact at Barclays... [email protected] hmmmm doesn't look like an official Barclays email address to me :o

Where is cn, is it Canada? Or Cameroon.

I had 3 this week telling me my account had been hacked and to verify my identity.
None were from the bank that I use
knobs.

Presumably though if people didn't fall for this shit the scammers would give up/get smart? Or perhaps they're just very hopeful.

I had two from Santander this week telling me I had to confirm my banking details because of suspected fraud.
I have never banked with Santander.

I also got a nice email from an Eastern European lady with 'traditional values' who knew 'how to work hard' and was looking for a 'kind and reliabel man' that she could settle down with....

I feel sorry for the actual Ghanaian finance minister sat alone in his office drumming his fingers and wondering why nobody ever replies to his emails...

I had a man rang up to tell me there was a "wirus" in my computer and he was from Google headquarters and had been asked to ring and talk me through a process to enable him to fix it for me (I am so important that Google really want me to have a wirus-free computer dontcha know?!)

I managed to keep him talking for at least 20 minutes by professing total computer ignorance and claiming to be entering things on my computer which weren't working (while drinking my cup of tea). Eventually I got bored and asked him to get Google to ring back when my husband was home to do it! Much more fun than putting the phone down straight away!

I got a letter from a man in China telling me I am the only living relative of someone who recently died in a Chinese rickshaw car crash and this 'uncle' had £64 million in a Chinese bank. I'm entitled to it all, which is very very nice. However it costs a lot of money and can take years to get the money out of China but Mr Woo is willing to help me get it out quicker (Mr Woo works in the bank where my 'uncle' deposited his £64m) so we can go 50/50 on the money and I'll have it within a month. I just need to send him my bank details and my online passwords.
Good old Mr Woo!

I never get anything interesting, just the usual bank confirmation emails from banks I don't have accounts with. Where's my dead Chinese uncle or thai bride emails???
