Was informed this morning by letter from Hong Kong thatUncle George had died. And that a certain well known Hong Kong bank had $10,000,000of Uncle Georges money in their bank and I was the only living relation theycould find in the world!

And that if I paid the death tax due, about $1,500 I couldclaim the lot!!! Wow that sounds cool so far.

Just a few points that worried me:
Both my Parents are alive as is my Aunt and surely theywould be before me?
I have never had an Uncle George, until now!
My name was spelled wrong, not a good sign!
And the email address to reply to was a yahoo account & not the bank!

And to cap it all they think I'm gullible enough to believetheir crap, I'm not!

So sadly the new range rover discovery is on hold a bitlonger!

But sadly some people do think these scams are real!

Dear nephew Feckit,


I am alive and well and living like a prince in Nigeria. There is this one little thing you could help me with, however -- it is rather complicated and involves large amounts of money and precious metals. I will email you ASAP with details.


Uncle George

Isn't it funny your Mother and Father never mentioned they had a brother named George either!

Perhaps they never knew, you must tell them Feckit..

Well, I DO HAVE an Uncle George so maybe all that loot is for me.

Now, where's my chequebook to sent in the death duties due?
