Send me part of that and you can take advantage of the British Airways booking that they have just notified me of and which I don't remember making, and stay at the accommodation I have reserved by ebookers that I also don't remember doing. Maybe the tickets are in the Fedex shipment that they keep reminding me to track

Hey mate, if I'd really won that sort of cash, it would have been a full weekend of tunnel running all on me, and I would have been in one of those 500bhp + motors that have been for sale on here this week

Unfortunately it's a crock, so you will need to buy your own Gilly

Yeah I get these emails constantly, "you have won £12million blah blah...", I just put them on the spam list and delete them, I have a right mind to report Camelot (dodgy name if there ever was one!!) to ICO or whatever governing body for these phishing scam emails!

I'm more for having a bit of fun, not reporting.

It came with a full postal address on the bottom , so as I'm off work till next Sunday I've had plenty of time to **** about with these people most of the week

There's a 50yard skip and a couple of pizzas an their way to them now, and the local taxi firm has been told to beep the horn a good couple of times as they are hard of hearing.

Actually just mooching through the yellow pages now to see what else I can send without paying up front.

The skip guy said cash on collection is fine, so he's dropping it outside at 2pm

That's great....

Except for the poor folks you're messing about while scamming the scammers. Skip lorries and taxis don't run on air, pizzas aren't free, and the scammers won't pay for them, so they'll be out of pocket.

At least you've not tried the full load of Readymix though, which was thoughtful....

I'd just report them to Trading Standards and have done with it.

Skips aren't a problem mate, I'm in the trade as such and was more of a favour, yeah pizzas are a pi$$ take but they still sold them and I got my little bit of satisfaction

Me, too.

I still get the ones from Nigerian people with someone leaving me so much in their will etc. Not hard to work out that it's complete bullsh!t. Why would some random person from overseas leave any money for other random person like me on this earth for **** all ?? It doesn't happen, I am never that lucky. Even on scratchcards, most I have won is maximum two quids. I have more chances of getting bitten by my cat's tail end than getting any free money for somewhere that I haven't toiled for.

Ah I see. Just the Readymix to arrange now then...!

I'd still hit them with Trading Standards once you've completed your 'sport' though, just to round it off nicely.
