Scam Letter, it was all going well until...

Received this in the post this morning.

I was almost taken in by it until the next 3 letters were opened!

 

[fossyant]

You are popular.

 

[Aperitif]

Arthur Kirk?

oneandahalfbikesmcginty surely?

More money down the Pan, Ed.

 

[Moodyman]

He sure likes the name 'Arthur'.

 

[HLaB]

Maybe Arthur died of a multiple personality dissorder

This is clearly rubbish everyone knows Arthur Fowler was in Eastenders and he was not a rich man.

If he had any money Pauline would have spent it.

I was told that I'd won €25,000,000 on the Spanish national lottery which was especially gratifying since I hadn't been to Spain for several years and have never bought a Spanish lottery ticket. Still, perhaps I shouldn't let little details like that put me off paying the several hundred pounds 'claim fee' that the 'claims department' were asking for!

I think the photograph of the previous Spanish lottery winner claiming his prize was a bit of a give-away though!

Congratulations.

I see why those hills are getting tougher, you are carrying a few extra pounds Colin

I get loads of similar crap in my emails - If everyone was cashed in I'd be worth a few £billion by now

You may jest, but my waistline is getting scary! (I haven't got the double-chin though! )

According to the cheque, about £1.5 m extra pounds

If my name was Arthur I would keep out of China. Cant be a coincidence can it?

 

[Gasman]

I got one of these by e-mail a while back. I thought it was just junk until I noticed it was signed by one Wang Qing! Nobody would make that up, would they?

I got one from the brother in law of the Nigerian finance minister! He needed help laundering several tens of millions of USD.

All he needed was £200 to get it started. I explained I had no money but if he sent me £50 I could use that to start a new bank account in a false name and overdraw it for £250.

Sadly this was beyond his comprehension. So I missed out on my share. Tosser!

You can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones they're after ;-)
