    That's class... did they ask for your account details at all? I reckon it'd be worth sending them over for an Apple Laptop and a miwwion dollah....

    I wasn't going to bother for the $1M USD, but the offer of a laptop tipped the balance.

    Ahh yes the Microsoft Corporation London, in Newcastle... one and the same place, and the Apple laptop from MS. The people that fall for this rubbish must be as daft as the people that write it in the first place.

    Had a personal email from the UN Secretary General the other day, needed me to help him shift some funds... wasn't the least bit suspicious we go way back

    Not forgetting that the message came from MICRO-SOFT CORPORATION (UK) and the payment is in US Dollars, or was it from MICROSOFT CORPORATION LONDON?

    Or even that their London offices are based in Newcastle!
