How long did it take to read, out of interest? Don't want to scare people of by saying 30 mins if its only 15. bleh.gif

Theres more things like that on the site somewhere if you're interested.

About 20 minutes to read, Its a funny read anyway although a little unbelievable at parts (why would you accept a Job without researching the company pfft.gif).

Who would believe someone when they inform them via email that they have won millions of pounds?

If you ever get an email from anyone you don't know asking for you to send personal info to South Africa or Nigeria it's almost 100% of the time a scam.

Dateline did a thing on this. I think it was calling "To catch an internet preditor" or something like that.

Yes, Spam is quite annoying as I realised tongue.gif

This is even worse: Scammers from Spain managed to get our address and sent us a letter claiming that we had won the lottery.

I laughed so much at the way it was written tongue.gif

Also, nice link Stobbo biggrin.gif
