Time to
a) bring back hanging
b) persue and punish these fraudsters the same any other (and if that involves public hangings so much the better)
Unfortunately as they originate in countries where more serious crime goes un investigated, I doubt we'll see much resolution soon....
Unfortunately, there are some very silly & careless people out there, who are also not very bright. Presumably for every 1,000,000 or so they send
out someone is drunk enough, daft enough or just plain careless or stupid enough to fill it in. It's all automated so costs the senders
nothing.
It's not helped by the fact that certainly up until fairly recently both Paypal & Ebay were still sending out stuff saying enter this
competition etc. & actually were asking you to follow links to log in - must admit not seen any recently, maybe they've finally worked out
that maybe it's not a good idea.
The real problem is that no one appears to persue these people, can't remember ever hearing of anyone getting nicked for this sort of activity -
if no one bothers to convict these scum they will obviously keep on doing it!

Don't give it the brain time!
You know it's a scan so just delete it and carry on. Spend the time educating others who might get fooled by it.
Thats not a scam!
As Im waiting for my cheque of £750000.00 that i sent all my personal details for
as Mr Ukiimuna Bowegga, new a distant relative, who died in such a tragic accident along with all his family
I never new i had a relative called Fazzer Achdreed in my family, as i thought, so my parents told me, that im half irish and Russion,
Anyway the £5000, i sent for all the legal fees etc, and personal courier is small fry compared to the massive amount that was left in a Dewsali bank
account for me, and only the day before the said accident
Mr Ukiimuna Bowegga, assures me all is ok, and i will recive my cheque before Xmas this year
I have to pop out now, as off to bank to send another £3.5k order, off to Mr Ukiimuna Bowegga, as there was some hitch in the transaction, and some
legal fees to be paid to release the money to me
Anyway, once i get the money, i will bid all you sad losers's good bye, as i never liked any of you, and was only being polite,
regards
steve

A few years ago, I got a bill from BT for over £600. It was in the days of dial-up and my puter had dialled a number several times whilst the house
was empty thanks to a virus.
I contacted BT expecting them to recognise the problem and clear the bill. But they said as I'd called the premium rate number, I'd have to
pay. I explained that these scamsters had used a virus to infect my computer and the only way these people could make money was by having BT to pay
them for the calls. BT couldn't be less interested but offered me a payment plan so I could clear the debt.
So, in my opinion, the scammers are not just hiding abroad.....
