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

Another fake lottery win has dropped into my mailbox today.

This one claims to be based in the Netherlands, yet used the logo of the British National Lottery in the original mail.

How stupid do they think I am?

Needless to say, it is utter bollocks.

If you receive one, throw it away.
