yeah all you have to do is look at the senders email domain, any link urls and reply email addresses - gives the game away.

Apparently there are people who fall for this... why?

Dear Friend,My name is Kuo Jiann-Jonga, a Whanker.

Am writing you to attempt to defraud you and seek your partnership/assistance in an illegal or fraudulent business transaction.

I would appreciate you assistance in this transaction but only if you are completely stupid and cannot see that this is a con and by helping us you agree to be ripped off. And even if you find out there is nothing you can do as I live in a lawless foreign land far away.

This should not be a requirement, but when you understand the transaction then you will know why it is important that you live far away from me. The amount of money involved in this transaction is ZIM $13,100,000.00.

If you are interested get back at me with the listed information below via my fraudulent E-Mail: jiannjong@yahoo.com.tw

now give me all your banking information, and your money, you stupid person.

I watched a program where some company for internet user research was trying to give away £1,000 and all people had to do was give there full name and a number and reply nothing else and then they would contact you.

Out of 10,000 e-mails they had 12 responses and those people did indeed get £1,000 each.
