You know - if they just charged 1p to send an email - all this nonsense would soon stop.

Greedy so and so!  Tell him you're in if you can go 50:50

the amount of Africans that died in plane crashes  and the amount of planes involved there should be no Africans left and no planes flying in the Sky's

I've just thought - should I pass it on to one of these 'find the heir' programs that seem to be on TV these days?

Sounds perfectly genuine to me and what a nice man to be prepared to share the money.  If it were me, though, I might have a problem keeping it secret because of the excitement.

Tell him you will go ahead but could he please send you £500. first so you can open a bank account.

They only have to log on to FB to find a ready supply of idiots , sadly there is not a world shortage yet, so, if you trawl through your contacts lists and forward his details to all the people on there that have given you grief in any way shape and form , especialy those on your spam lists, you could be doing the world a favour.

[Lesley Silvester]

An excellent reason not to put personal details, such as email address, on Facebook.

They pester us because believe it or not, some people do actually believe it, so whatever they do with the bank details, it must be worth the bother, personally I find them (bordering on) amusing. And come on, you just wanted to use the new 'rant' emo'thing' didn't you  .

On the 419 Scam website somebody actually got 'them' to send 'him' some money, priceless.
