Bill,
Yes I have seen that, hence believing it to be a scam of some description, just wondering what the catch was and how they finally get your money? .

And now you're looking, when are you going to respond to mey numerous emails regarding payment .

 

Send me another one, I promise to reply Lost a few emails (again) I blame the tablets..... (as always )

It could be a number of things, most likely they'll stick your name and details in a database and sell it, you'll then be harrassed for ever with junk email and postal crap

Mike...if you get any cash from this i will let you fuck me for free

 

often they get u interested but to get your share of the dosh you need to 'pay the solicitor to process the paperwork' - a further fee is then needed to clear customs or some silly thing an since you've paid some out you pay a little more and so on

 

its a scam.

Any excuse
