They crack me up with some of the instructions, surely people don't even reply. When I worked for a major national bank, we heard of cases weekly where people believed in these type's of scam's...... If they send 1 million emails and get a response from 1% that's very good/easy money!! (We were told the response rate was 4%! and more so with hmrc etc type scam's)

4%?!?!I would have thought 0.01% was good going, but one in every 25 people who received an email like this responded to it?! Blimey.
