There's no mention of the 2 most popular ones that enter my spam mail:-

1. Unusual activity on your bank account so we have frozen it, please click here and login using your detail to reactivate your account

FFS, I don't have and never have had a HSBC/Barclay/First Direct acct etc

2. You are due a tax refund, please submit all of you personal detail that will allow me to make myself look like you electronically on this link here

Unfortunately some people are just that stupid. They are probably fat, lazy and have been claiming dole and other benefits since they turned 16 or am I being cynical

But they are the only ones with any money worth scamming. The hard working, wage earning, decent middle class wage slave </Al Murray mode> doesn't have any cash at the end of the month

Yes and no, one look at Jeremy Kyle is enough to tell you that the thick-ar$e chavs and work shy have access to computers and the internet, no doubt paid for/subsidised by the middle classes. Whilst they have the access, they do not have the brains or common sense...
