i have refrained from abusive replies, as i just noticed this mail came to my work addy.

call me old fashioned, but having a 7ft nigerian stick a pick axe through my spinal column does not amount to a good day.

seems they got off lightly.

i would love to know the amount of gullible yanks or otherwise that fall for this cr@p.

Some of those on the above link are classics. You gotta check out the one about the courjette rearing stud farm.

Gave me an idea to play on as if you were in prison. You could go on about "having difficulty getting out" and other problems stopping you from sending the dosh.

But I never got round to it and haven't seen a 419 in ages

Cheers
