I've often wondered why the sum is always so unfeasibly large and curiously precise. Surely if they were to limit the scam to the thousands they would be less obvious?
Exactly my thoughts.
Also why the currency is always $US? What's wrong with Pounds Sterling or even NIS (Israel New Shekel)?

After the last couple of days when my main W7 laptop went belly-up when I tried to clone the hard disk to a Samsung EVO850 SSD (that was my birthday present!) and I've spent most of the time trying to revive it (so far unsuccessfully) then I might be tempted :mad:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Late Mr. Allen Smith includes your name among his heirs. This may look odd to you, but for more explanation open the attached file, and email me back to proceed.

Regards,

You should perhaps write an eBook about all these kind offers ;)

If you go to an (as yet undisclosed) website and make a small contribution (min £100) direct to a (also as yet undisclosed) nominated bank account in Nigeria to help cover my costs in doing so, then you will, of course, be handsomely rewarded (3000% min) from the proceeds of the sales of the e-book.

Will consider this offer, provided it is included in the eBook.

Ah! But that would involve extra work, and cost more - so the min contribution will go up to £1000! :)

Alright. Sounds fair.
Piece of cake considering I just won the Microsoft lottery. Just waiting for the money to show up in my account.

Serious point for anyone with a Metro bank a/c - looks "almost genuine" at first glance, except for the "To: Recipients" at the top, and in the detail below.

I haven't seen anything like this purporting to come from Metro before, but I know this is Phishing as I don't have an a/c with them.

Not forgetting the appallingly bad use of English esp. Para 2 Line 2 :eek:
