[TerribleTerry]

So let me get this straight, John googled 'trustworthy individual in the UK' and the search engine returned a result for someone from Manchester?!?

Someone send an email to Google: it is clearly malfunctioning

[Hagler2002]

I knew someone that gave his old landlords account details to one of these emails, the landlord had refused to hand back his deposit for the flat.

[Andypittcov]

[banjo]

It was the Mafia whodunnit!

[whiskey]

Someone send an email stating we have formed a syndicate to help them !

[Poncey]

Gimme the user ID of the idiot, sorry poster, that sent you this so I can send him a chocolate tea pot.

[Scottrf]

Sounds like a great deal. But if he has contacted a number of you how will he choose which is most reliable?

They must have people fall for these to make them worthwhile, defies belief.

[Captain Hook]

I got that message......

[thepocketrocket]

I remember Machoman running with this kind of scam back in the day...funniest thing ever on the net!!!!! Maybe a replay????????

[King Tubby]

I got a message that I had a pm from him yesterday. Nothing showed up though.

[Jeff Thomas]

I wander what the success rate of these e-mails is?

[palooka]

Desperate times make desperate people; but like Jeff Thomas; I wonder how many millions of these emails must be sent to get even 1 responder. There must be a real organisation and brains at work there.

Iread a book many years ago by Tony Thompson called Gangs. There was a chapter on this. They originate out of Africa, but the people who fell for it ad went to Africa used to get proper done over and somegot killed so they changed and set up the meetings in Amterdam. Looks like they've moved to English names!
