Dear dearest. I can release these requested informations to your preferred savings accountings. So that you do not feel at risk, there is a discreet way of doing this: simply put your mother's maiden name in brackets [like this] followed by your password (spelled backwards).

Thanking your pleasure.

I used to get a load of emails from women at university trying to send me nude pics, wanting to meet up etc.

Today I got "Becky A little on the heavy side... but sexy (NSFW)"

Is it just me or part of getting older frown

My dad had about three or four emails like this and he was only selling an old Rover for a few hundred pounds. I'm surprised Autotrader / the police don't do more to clamp down on this. They must be able to trace the email address.
Yes, yes, I can see that would be an entirely fruitful and worthwhile use of police time.

I've had loads of scam emails when selling cars, always a good laugh to read especially when the english they use is woeful!

In general, if someone is prepared to pay good money for your car without even looking at it then its a scam

ANYWAY HES ON SOME ISLAND YOU KNOW LIKE IM A CELEBRITY BUT NOT THE JUNGLE ON AN ISLAND YEAH LIKE SURVIVOR IF THATS STILL ON. OR LIKE LOST BUT NOT AS STUPID. OR LIKE FORT BOYARD BUT A REAL ISLAND NOT JUST A CASTLE IN THE SEA. OR LIKE FAR CRY 1 BUT NOT FAR CRY 2 COS THAT WAS IN AFIRCA AND ASLO RUBBISH BUT MAYBE FAR CRY 3 ITS NOT OUT YET THOUGH.

ANYWAY I DIGRESS. SORRY. ON THIS ISLAND WHERE HE LIVES STILL HONSETLY ALIVE THERES A BIG LOAD OF TREES LRITEARLLY EVERYHWREE, COCONUTS FALLING EVERYHWREE, ALWAYS TRIPPING OVER EM, AND I SAY UNTO HIM MOST CONDIMENTFILY, HEY POLO YOU NEED TO DO SUMFIN BOUT DEM TREES BRUV, BUT HE IS ALL LIKE, LES HOMMES DE GÉNIE SONT DES MÉTÉORES DESTINÉS À BRÛLER POUR ÉCLAIRER LEUR SIÈCLE!!, AND I AM LIKE WELL FINE THEN I WILL SORT IT BUT YOU ARE PAYING MATE AND HE IS ALL LIKE: BOF.
