Re: Another scam attempt

It's a fact someone must still respond to this type of email or they wouldn't bother keep making them up...

Re: Another scam attempt

The thing about these scams is that they almost invariably contain obvious typographical or grammatical errors. The one above, for example, has at least three which give it away to anyone.

You are quite right but I find as many mistakes in genuine emails. I had one from the local Newspaper recently that looked as if it had been written by a seven year old.

You should try the Daily Mail!

I blame this trendy 'Meeja Studies' degree. I believe it took over from the previous Mickey Mouse degree, Sociology.
