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

Monday, January 16, 2006

Yet another fake lottery scam is doing the rounds.

These all operate on the same premise. The hapless respondent is asked to send a "processing" fee of approximately 500-1000 Euros. Once this fee has been sent, the "winner" never hears from the scammer again.

Please don't fall for this, there is no such thing as a free lunch!
