Hi all,
I got a Seabreeze Pm from one of those dodgy over seas wankers asking for my personal details as he has 15 million quid to get rid of.
I assume everyone has seen them and no one responds but found it strange I would get one on the SB site.
Our computer protection at work is great and filters out all the crap.
Anyone else get any of these??
Cheers,
Larko

Never had anyone call me beloved before. Might be a new internet romance

They are indeed a pain in the bum, and it's hard for them to get a lot of emails out already .. we're adding extra systems to slow them down even more.

no no... it's all true. I answered to one of those mails and really got "15 million quid" transferred into my bank account. The mailer had asked me to transfer the money to his cousin somewhere in the Cayman Islands. He offered me "100 thousand quid" in exchange.

Beat him to the punch though and cleared and closed my accounts before he could get his money back.

Oh, and tomorrow I plan on answering one of those mails that promises to make my penis bigger. Not that I really need it now that I have "15 million quid"...

You should check out a website called 419eater - a couple of guys turn the tables on the scanners and get them to email photos of themselves holding embarrassing signs in order to "prove" that they are not a scammer.

It's quite hilarious and this guy manages to get the scammers to pay for a nights accommodation at the Novatel resort in the belief that he is flying to Nigeria to give them a donation cheque.

Check out the "Trophy Room"
