?
I know Akira has and now I have too. You'd have to be pretty daft to reply to it in the first place but a quick Google check prooves that it's some massive dodgy-ass spam bot as the message appears all over the place.
You should probably avoid telling young Lauren your bank details at any rate.

Haha, brilliant.
I wonder how many people ACTUALLY fall for these emails. It must be quite a few because otherwise the spammers wouldn't STILL be sending this same old "I'll give you half of my ten trillion dollar fortune if you help me" con.
IDIOTS!! (the victims, not the spammers).

Its a numbers game, if the spammers send out hundreds of thousands of emails all it takes is for 1 knob to fall for it and it makes it worth while for them!

my trainer had quite a few talks with some african lady, he even tried to call a few times... he always showed me her emails, saying to send bank details cause she needed to get her inheritence out of the country, i managed eventually to make him believe it was a lie...

And it's because of fools like your trainer, Josh, that we all get these emails on a regular basis. One chump falls for it and it's worth the con-artists continuing the game. Pfff.
