Phishing for Weaners!!
« on: April 19, 2011, 10:05:08 am »
I got an e-mail from someone saying they wanted to buy 4 weaners. It's an obvious scam and not remotely believable.

He offered to pay me £1500 by bankers draft and I was to deduct the £200 for the 4 weaners plus another £100 for allowing him to pay by draft, then I was to forward the balance (£1200) to his account and he would arrange a courier to pick up the weaners. Yeah, right!!  ???  I e-mailed and asked for a CPH number and didn't hear any more from him.

Anyone want to buy 4 weaners?? Cash only I'm afraid!!  ;D
You gotta ask yourself, 'Do I feel lucky'?
