Well yes that's all very well and good, except Waterlooville is in Hampshire, not London. And PO is a Portsmouth postcode.

GOOD ONE




So how much will it cost to post a few computers to Nigeria?

Mess with them! Mess with them!

I would if it was to my personal email but it went to a work address so I'd better not.


I might email the real Uptech Computer and tell them that some of the content of their website has been stolen for a spam site, though..

[mycarsavw]

Shall I report the site as a potential phishing site? (Shazou extension within FF)

I presume with this being a technology lead forum someone has beaten me to it though

[unreal]

lol That website is hilarious

Is it me or is there no mention of Nigeria in that one? Shocking. He's not even sticking to the basic spamming conventions.
