419 million scams - gordonbennet

The 419 email scam has plumbed new depths of oh perlease, those dear chaps who've never done a days work in their lives have just sent me yet another howler.

Among the dozen Dearly Beloveds and Gracious One's received today is one from llyods bank (Dear Lord) requiring me to sign in to an account i don't have.

You'd think the twerps would at least try to get the speeling somewhere near, i'm tempted to forward it onto the 419 eater site, scammer deserves their attention for his inattention if nothing else.

419 million scams - concrete

There is a fantastic paperback book about these scammers. Unfortunately I can't remember the title of the book. I think it is something like 'In the name of..' Written by a journalist I think, who finds some ingenious methods of stringing these people along. Hilarious, laugh out loud stories. He even got one scammer to go to Glasgow to collect the money and left him high and dry and skint.

If anyone has read it or knows the title, let us know.

Cheers Concrete

I think the paperback is "Greetings in Jesus Name". Very funny book.
