Hi Ann,

On my home computer I don' have these but we are getting loads of them at work, at first glance they look official and from e mail addresses like HMRC, Companies House, any bank you care to think of etc!

But they all contain an attachment with a zip file, which is a virus.

Kind regards
Amanda

I figured it out.........

The guy in Kenya who has been searching (for YEARS!) for the only living relative of the millionaire............

It's our Ann!!!

:-D :-D

Ann I had an email saying a similar thing. I telephone my bank and they said to ignore it they would never email you with anything like this.

yippee!!! I did once have a go at banking on line but never proceeded, so they do have my email addy!! I shall pop down the cashpoint tomorrow and check my balance - watch this space :-D

I am 40-42-61 00-83-24-57 if you are feeling Christmassy Ann. Anything will do :-D

Actually, it used to be Boracic Lint a medicated dressing.......

from wikipeadia

Boracic lint was a type of medical dressing made from surgical lint that was soaked in a hot, saturated solution of boracic acid and glycerine and then left to dry.

It has been in use since at least the 19th century,[1] but is now less commonly used.

The term boracic lint, or often just "boracic", pronounced "brassic", is also used as Cockney rhyming slang for having no money - "boracic lint" ? "skint."[2]

I'm common Bob - I use it!!! :-D

Urban Dictionary,
What seems to be an open site, available to ALL ages, that uses disgusting interpretations of common words,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Now THAT is a site that ought to be banned!!



and we, on a supposedly adults only site can't write normal body like words, or jokes on here without getting a wrist slapping.....at least........

Bob.

I'm even more excited - if somewhat confused - because apparently a young woman would like to have a long and loving relationship with me. It's true.....she sent me an email :-S :-D

lucky ol' you :-D :-D :-D

Perhaps an early Christmas gift from Santa AnnC? You must have been VERY GOOD.

It may be real, SueM. Love came down at Christmas. She may be a lovely person. The bank deposit may be genuine. I now have a deep and loving friendship with a Nigerian woman who lost her very wealthy husband in a plane crash and the Nigerian government froze his assets.

I have been able to console her in her tragic loss and we have been able to release those assets to our mutual benefit.

And I am far less cynical about these matters - which the foolish call "scams".

Spend! Spend! Spend! AnnC :-D

Bob, it's up to the owners of individual websites what they allow.
And GR's rules are quite clear.

Ann, it surely is not from your bank.
The clue - in my opinion - are the words ...
"If the transaction was made by mistake ..."
Banks NEVER think of that dreaded work 'mistake'.

Only WestJet does nice things for their customers - apart from recently damage irreparably my luggage ....
