I get those in the junk mail now and again Ian - noticed a few more recently. The scammers must be doing a 'surge' at the moment.
Those crazy Nigerians tried to get me via ebay recently (well 2 years ago!!)...

ps...just had a horrible thought!!!!! The scam I linked to above happened on ebay where the scammer posed as a buyer in a "buy it now" sale.The scammer bid on the 'auction' thereby ending the sale. The horrible thought is that via the ebay system they had access to my name and location (not too difficult to search for an address) and bank account details to deposit the money that was never to come !!!!
That's an identity fraudster's dream come true, and it's so open to potential abuse!?
Thankfully nothing dreadful has happened so far...but now I've put it out there into the Universe!!!
