Dear Cuffin, I used to do that then it turned out that if you respond they can get through your email and into your details, now I either just delete or send it to fraud squad.

You'd be surprised how many stupid, greedy people there are in the world.
Even if 999 people out of 1000 read this and recognize it immediately as a scam, there's always that 1 whose eyes glaze over with greed when they see "20 million pounds", and their brain stops functioning at the mere thought of their share of all that money. And the people who send out these emails send them out by the hundreds of thousands. They get enough people falling for the scam that it makes it worth their while to keep doing it.

I receive about 5 to 6 of these per day, plus the ones which i have won £100,000,000 or £500.000.000, but they want all my personal details, so I send them, here is what i send
Name: Mrs DoYa Thi Nk I Stu Pid
Address: Highcroft Mental institute
Erdington
Birmingham
Phone Number: Usually inland rev, or local police station.
Date of birth: Any
Marital status: married
Sex: No thanks
Occupation: Self employed Bigamist
You get the idea.
I suggest you write a standard email to all these people, and send it from a email address you hardly use. I love it.

It's only taken them a couple of minutes to write and display on the web and the probability of getting an answer from all those on there are slim but obviously worth a try, or it wouldn't be there. From the number of questions you get on here asking if the lotteries/scams etc are true it seems they get some response.

I get lots of emails like this and i always reply. I pretend that I'm sucked in and believe it all then tell them things like my name is Mrs A sucker who lives at 1 Cons avenue in Ripoff ville. I also send them a picture of my hand with two fingers sticking up at them for my finale.

Send them the phone and fax number for your local Lloyds TSB...
