It was an email I received earlier....... thought for a min, my luck was in.......lol

 

[Mike Lewis]

Sorry, Peter .... I still don't get it. I've read the email and can't see anything unusual. I'm obviously missing something.

I have a feeling that this should maybe have been posted in the 'Non-Business Chat' forum as a bit of humour rather than the Marketplace. I get these kind of emails occasionally and treat them as the spam they are.

I once had a very greedy client who took said email to his solicitor and his accountant and paid them to advise him whether or not this would be a worthwhile investment.

Nowt as daft as folk.

Sorry to labour this point, but I still don't see the point of this discussion. We all agree that the email is a typical scam, of the type of all of us have received by the cart-load. I can't see anything unusual about it. Peter, what point are you making? Or, do we infer that this is the first example of this scam you've seen?
