Dr W Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 About 4 or 5 so far. People asking oooh do you think this is genuine, NO YOU MUPPETS IT IS NOT!!!!! As I explained to one lady friend If say 1 million people (similar number to the Oddbins voucher)decided to forward this on to 20 friends then M&S would have to stump up £500 million in vouchers this is roughly equal to the entire 2005 post tax profits, how likely do you think that would be and don't you think the share holders might have something to say about it.

Spam also works and people do get suckered by 419'ers (advance fee fraud) every day. There is one born every minute, except now they have the internet and credit cards so its game on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 If you have been selected as someone trustworthy, why pray do they want your name? I love 419 scams, http://www.419eater.com/ They managed to get these two liberian scammer chaps to re-enact the dead parrot sketch, on the understanding that if they did, the deal was on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvyrzQldOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have sent a reply saying that whilst I am filthy rich I would do her a favour and help and give the money to charity. Anyone else for a bit of Scally baiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
