Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Yipee, I have won $750K!

Well, in reality I haven't; in fact all that has happened is that I have received another scam email.

This time the mail comes from a new sweepstake scam, allegedly run by a German company that has an unpronounceable name.

The usual bullshit, "there has been a mix up with the numbers...keep it secret etc etc"

Bottom line, it is a con; do not fall for it.
