Yeah, I have been getting quite a number of those "Send money to withdraw ton of money from oversea account" mail lately. Sometimes I just wonder (really) if this is some sort of plot by the Nogerian government.

Actually, in our office we get faxes about this sort of thing all the time. It smells of a scam to me. It certainly sounds like the kind of thing we get. I just chunk them into the recycle bin

I always get a laugh reading those scams, especially the parts where they say "please keep this just between us." [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
