I think I have won a combined amount of £400m over the years but I have decided not to respond and to let someone more unfortunate than myself to have the money! BTW, all they need is one numpty every thousand to respond and theywill be quids in.
Daggers Posted 21 March 2007 Posted 21 March 2007 The mighty Danny Wallace has a bit in his book about it - he even went to Holland to hand over his bank details in person! Here's a cracking advert for the book ...and here's the book. It is very, VERY funny...the funniest book I read last year.

MC Prussian Posted 21 March 2007 Posted 21 March 2007 Congratulations .... have it spent it wisely :mrgreen:
Phube Posted 21 March 2007 Posted 21 March 2007 but really... how can anyone be stupid enough to fall for these. I mean when do you ever have to pay for a prize before you get it... or win a draw you haven't even entered!!! I can understand the 'fake bank' web pages, they're clever... but these... they deserve to be ripped off!!

I can understand the 'fake bank' web pages, they're clever... but these... they deserve to be ripped off!! I got an email from The National Lottery last week, it was so good that it even fooled my filtering system. I clicked on the link telling me that I had won; I had bought a ticket online this weekend but rarely do and never check for weeks on end. Whenever doing links to sites that require passwords I'll always look at the address bar before doing anything...and something was not right. The website looked authentic and the address was almost spot on, but it wasn't. The guys that do this stuff are clever...it impresses me, although I guess it shouldn't. I was really impressed with the bogus Halifax Bank email I got last year too...that one was incredible.

I had one from a bank myself about a year ago and was almost convinced I'd opened an account with them They are very convincing.
hairy Posted 21 March 2007 Posted 21 March 2007 I had one from a bank myself about a year ago and was almost convinced I'd opened an account with them They are very convincing. You wouldn't believe the number of people here at work who open them and fill in the details before they remember they haven't got an account at the said bank. So many infact I did a brief toolbox on phishing for them.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 21 March 2007 Posted 21 March 2007 I thought a big bet had come in from reading the thread title, Allen.
Geo V Posted 21 March 2007 Posted 21 March 2007 Dodgy sods. Has anyone watched The Real Hustle on the beeb? That show cracks me up because it actually gives people ideas on how to do dogies ! Great training for the thieves!
