Dear friend.

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable
bank
Draft of $800.000.00 United States Dollars but I did not hear from you
since
that time,then I decided to involve the issued bank to avoid losing of
the
funds,When i got to the bank,the director told me that the cheque has
three
weeks to expire that after three weeks it will be invalid then i told
the
director to convert the check into cash to avoid losing of the funds
but
he said i have to hire a lawyer before that can be done since the
beneficaiy
that the cheque was on his or my boss that signed the cheque is not
here,a
lawyer will be involve for the signing and the procurement of vital
documentsneeded
for that.

I have no choice than to hire alawyer who will assist me on this matter
as i was told by the bank to signed for the convertion of your
cheque,After
meeting with the bank lawyer who looked into the matter he told me that
he will arrange for the documents as well as the signings for the bank
to
covert the cheque into cash payment but he said i should pay him
$2500.00
for the job, then i explained to him that i don't have the money but
pleaded
with him that as soon as the job is done that the money will be
deducted
from the money before anything.
The bank director also assured me that after the convertion of your
check,the
money will be packaged and deposited with the bank official security
company
for save keeping as well as the delivering of your package to your home
address.

Am happy to inform you that the job hasbeen done,the check has been
converted
into cash and is right there with United State Parcel Service for
deliver,remember

sum
and this amount includes the registration and the delivery fee which is

you

There seems to of been an increase in the amount of spam recently. I think most people have several emails nowadays and spam filters to help but certainly I am getting more spam every day- especially these you have won a lottery emails

there is a very good phishing mail purporting to be from PayPal at the moment - it's very convincing, well written english etc.

The only thing that gives it away is that instead of clicking links to PAYPAL.COM the links actually say email1.paypal.co.uk

Simple rule really - never click on links in emails, either C&P or type them in to the address bar.

I had one from ebay that is similar. I thought it was genuine, and nearly put in my login & password, when I remembered that my pc has an 'always remember me' so i should never have to put them in. But it looked pretty good.

I guess some people must fall for them, otherwise they wouldn't continue. I guess they only need to fleece, say £1k a day, and they would have a comfortable liestyle funded by theft. scumbags.

There is also an email going around asking you if you want to find if someone has blocked you on MSN - it is clearly targetted at teenagers etc.

It is a site other than MSN asking for your log in and password (alarm bells ring!) and once it has them, it goes on to wreak havoc.
