I want the bank to release the money to you as the nearest person to our deceased customer(the owner of the account)died along with his supposed next of kin in an air crash since, July 21, 2003. I don't want the money to go into our Bank treasurer as an abandoned fund. So this is the reason why i contacted you so that the bank can release the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased customer. Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested.

i was just wandering...there was someone on an earlier thread (a month odd ago) who emailed these lovely people back taking the p*ss out of them...any idea who it was or the site?
wanting to do something similar to this 'chap' well...maybe its the wrong 4 letter word that starts with c.

this site is quite fun for tips on how to fool the scammers, if you've got the time and patience

It has been discussed before but apparently if you reply, they know the email is valid and bombard you with more of the stuff

oh crap! ive just replied asking if hes a c**t...the only word good for them...
cant that continent do any honest work??
i mean come on-pirates and email scams. its just not cricket!
