You'd have to be really dopey to fall for such an obvious one!!
Nearly as bad as the "Nigerian scams".

[tomoco]

Think this one is being traced by the CID already.(Know the local plods)
Remember; never open any email you receive unless you know who sent it. Nobody gives money away (I wish)

[Mr Skrunts]

Apart from Ebay aparently (in annother thread) just they dont ever send me any.

[tomoco]

Your right scruntie ebay do send loads of free money (well vouchers) out, but just not to us
