| 1166131 | 2011-01-01 02:58:00 | I can't beleive that this is still happening: Barrister Tim Pullen ✆ Dec 15 Dear Partner, I wish to intimate you with a request that would be of immense benefit to you and me . I seek your assistance to act as the beneficiary of an inheritance, and lay claim to the legacy(12 . 4million pounds sterling),which my unfortunate client who is deceased left behind . For now, It is only known to me, as my client had great confidence in me . Everything will be shared between you and I . The sharing pattern would be 40% for you and 60% for me . I need not emphasize to you that the sensitivity of this issue need not betoyed with by neglecting its confidentiality . At this point I want to assure you that your true consent, full cooperation and confidentiality are all that are required for us to take full advantage of this great opportunity . This is an opportunity that people rarely have . I look forward to hearing from you soon . I can be contacted via a reply email . Yours truly, Barrister Tim Pullen pullen@lunnet . com Would someone like to respond to him as I've just sent a cash voucher to Nigeria for my share of an inheritance of a deceased American tourist who left a bank box full of cash when he died in a freak accident and the hotel manager said I could share it with him for just a 30% investment from me . |

| 1166132 | 2011-01-01 03:13:00 | I think that many of us have had these sort of too good to be true offers . I once was informed a distant relative I had never heard of died in Africa . We had the same surname . When they asked for my bank account number I told them that I do not trust banks and do not have a bank account . I asked would they accept cash (from under my mattress) . Unfortunately I never heard from them again . |

Tell us when you have the money, Joe. We'd like you to shout us all a visit to your ranch!:D (Love the English!) |

| 1166136 | 2011-01-01 05:17:00 | The best advice is not to reply to spammers . Imagine though if everbody was able to set up their mail box so that spam bounced and spam emails were returned to sender as 'Gone no Address' . This would fill up the spammers In Box with useless email . |

| 1166137 | 2011-01-01 05:47:00 | Imagine though if everbody was able to set up their mail box so that spam bounced and spam emails were returned to sender as 'Gone no Address'. This would fill up the spammers In Box with useless email. Mailwasher will screen and bounce mail. Problem is that the scammers usually use a fake send from address and put in the contact address in the body of there scam. For those so inclined, if the contact address the scammer wants you to reply to is from Hotmail or Yahoo/yMail, both those companies will usually react quickly to scam reports by closing that drop box address down, not much but still annoying for the scammer. Though you could always add the scammers email address to various porn and spam mailing lists....... |
