New? This scam turns up at least once a week and has done for years.
Another Nigerian special!


Sorry. Not seen it before and it looked genuine and from BT.


Keep them to myself next time. Suppose it would have been different if I
was one of the clique


Thanks

I'm inclined to agree that it's not new, but don't let that put you off..
It's not always easy spotting all the scams out there. * I reckon the best
bet if you suspect something is get on the phone to the supplier concerned
using a number you have sourced from somewhere other than the e-mail and
its' associated sites (but then I NEVER click links in suspect mails).


It doesn't put me off. What DOES amaze me is the terrible clique on this
newsgroup. If you don't belong to the kissy kissy brigade and use it to
contact others quite openly as if you are the only ones here, (where email
would be much better), then you are an outcast!

You're been over-sensitive. Moghouse was merely stating fact. I new
about this one too. I'll probably get an email about it in the very
near future from one or two watchful souls who have just heard of it
and want to warn everyone, just as I've received warnings concerning
things that seem like nonsense.

The point is, sometimes, these late warning are about as time wasting
and irritating as spam and usually receiving a reaction equivalent to
the rolling of the eyes whilst muttering something along the lines of
FFS.
Though one would ordinarily avoid addressing such a response directly
to the sender. After all, ... who knows, but one day they might be the
saving of me.
