Depron Daz Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 According to emails that I received only today, not including any other day, I have inherited/earned/been given gratis, £372,000,000. My Nigerian uncle was the most generous, having sold his African diamond mine, he decided to give me £250m, and the others have come from various medical centres around the world for my continued support into break-through medicines and procedures. All I have to do this evening is provide my account details to each email received to receive this cash. So, place your orders, but leave some for me please. Hopefully you will all have your gifts by the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Daz, That's a better offer than mine. I think you should accept without delay! I'm due for a modest tax rebate and have a mountain load of parcels awaiting collection at various depots around the world - maybe a kind benefactor has bequeathed me a lifetime's supply of modelling goods!

Peter Miller Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I always appreciate the phone calls telling me that my computer has a problem. They are so helpful and even offer fix all the errors if I will pass control to them. I would tell you how I normally thank these helpful people but the moderators seem to think that such thanks a re not helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Campling Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 That's mighty kind of you. Since my offer of 2.67 million USD didn't turn up I had to cancel the 1/4 scale Spitty, MZ 18, and the Moki radial for the big Jug. Can't wait!!

kevin b Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 How about a piece of cuttlefish and one of those mirrors you can't knock over ? Well, you started it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I had a nice email from Barclays the other day telling me there was some problem with my account. Problem? I'll say there's a problem with it - I closed it over thirty years ago! And as for the nice man from Microsoft... shame about his strong accent as I had to get him to repeat everything two or three times - even if I did understand him perfectly the first time. I also accidentally neglected to mention for quite a while that the PC I ws pretending to let him help me with was running Linux. He was rather rude when I mentioned that and hung up! Next time I might pretend to have a Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depron Daz Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Come on you guys, so far all I'm buying is a 1/4 scale Spitty, an MZ 18???, and a Moki radial for a big Jug, and a chicken curry fried rice (need the menu number please John) Oh, and a cuttlefish and a mirror (but seeing as I have got both spare in the bird room, that's not really a gift) How do these scammers get my email address? I never tick or uncheck the "Can we / we will send your email details to Uncle Motumba in Nigeria, and anyone else who wants to access your money illegally ", and only use reputable online outlets. I don't do online gaming (actually I apparently won a huge amount a little while ago) so how do they get it? I guess that even reputable people must be selling them on to anyone.

Frank Skilbeck Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Well if you are offering I'll have one of these As far as getting your e-mail, they've probably managed to get it from somebody elses account which they have hacked. A few years back the company I worked for at the time had an office in Nigeria, every now and again when we phoned the manager (an expat) we'd get somebody telling us he's been in an accident and we needed to send money urgently, they were intercepting the phone calls.

Depron Daz Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 No worries Frank. I guess you want the one with airbrakes and custom canopy etc? Would you like one for every day of the week in 7 different colours? I've also had the "We're stuck in "wherever" and lost our travellers cheques, would you be kind to send us money so we can get home? We promise to pay you back with interest as soon as we're back home". Well, seeing as you are promising to pay back, and with interest, of course I'll help" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Jones Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Just a beer for me BD than we can celerbrate your gid fortuneosity. By the way when the man from Windows Security Centre phones and says your PC is sending messages reporting a fault/virus, try telling him you have several machines but you will be able to identify which one it is if he gives you the MAC address named in the report..... you can play the game from there for as long as he's gullible, I've managed 28 minutes so far.

Depron Daz Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 How many chicken curries do you want John? That is a god idea Ian re the MAC address (like I know what a MAC address is C.S.

Prop Nut Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I won the Spanish National Lottery twice last year, according to my emails, despite never buying a ticket, but didn't bother giving my bank details as I wouldn't know what to do with 10 million Euros. I've also had reports of problems with my NatWest bank account, although I've never had an account with them in my life. As for those Viagra offers...

MikeS Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I had so many emails offering me money by cheque from my uncle in Nigeria. Not sure why but the cheques never arrive and it so disappointing. The amount of times I put in an order for a Audi R8 and then cancel you wouldn't believe. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster prop Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I had a call from a lady with an foreign accent at 'Technical Support for Windows computers' telling me that they had detected a fault on my PC. I asked which one as we have 3 all with different operating systems, they just asked me to log onto their website first. At that point I said goodbye and hung up. They used to say they were Microsoft tech support. I'd love to be able to say I only have Apple Mac computers though I also wonder how they got my name and email address. Scary.
