Looks like I am the luckiest bloke in the world today! wink

Just received an email from a very helpful lady asking me to send across $250 and they will send me my $800,000.00 - Do people actually fall for this

helpful lady said:

.Subject: CONTACT FEDEX EXPRESS FOR YOUR PARCEL
.Date: Mar 30, 2010 3:25

Greeting!

Congratulations to you as we bring your notice the results of the
world Bank promo and your email Address was selected through a
computer ballot system drawn We are happy to inform you that your
email won $800.000.00 United States Dollars. I have been waiting for
you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $800.000.00
United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since that time.
Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX EXPRESS DELIVERY,West
Africa, I travelled out of the country for a 3 Months Program Course
and I will not come back till end of July 2010.

What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX EXPRESS DELIVERY as
soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you
because of the expiring date. For your information,I have paid for the
delivering Charges,Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of
the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor
Terrorist attack in your Country. Again, I would have paid for the
security keeping fee but they said no because they don't know when you
will contact them and in case of demurrage.You have to contact the
FEDEX EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL with the following informations:

First name:
Last Name:
Telephone:
Nationality:
Age:
Occupation:
address:

Dispatch Director: Mr. Humphrey Hill
Email Address: customer_fedex@9.cn
Tel: +2347060647728


You are advice to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to
avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security
Keeping fee of 250.00 United State Dollars for their immediate
action.You should also let me know through email as soon as you
receive your Draft.

Yours Faithfully,
Mrs.Linda Kershaw

Can we have a sticky of all of the scam emails or something (with contact details removed etc so people won't fall for it), just to stop people posting them up all the time?

Oh, by the way, Linda is a trustworthy lady!

Its odd, I always assumed anyone on here must have the internet and thus thier own junk mail to ignore.
Obviously not, so I, too, will share some of mine:

Not only can I not spot sarcasm, but I can't think of a single thing to say myself and can only function if I am able to repeat the same thing over and over again. My mother used to say its because I lack intelligence, but I think its just because Im a bit thick
