Petrol prices are on the drop again, thanks to a decrease in oil prices. The lowest I've found is 111.9p at Trago's in Newton Abbot - as my friend said to me, ya can't beat Trago.

Hopefully people are getting more aware of the scam emails that come through now and again - someone wants to transfer millions into your account, pay you to cash cheques and send them the money etc etc.

DON'T DO ANY OF IT, IT'S DIRTY AND YOU WILL GET NOTHING!

If it sounds too good to be true - its a scam!

The guys at 419 Eater are absolutely brilliant at wasting the scammers time, we're talking several months. The website contains several tips on scambaiting, but it also states that if you are not prepared to deal with these people, then don't. Personally I always delete emails that are from people I don't know.

Most of all though, don't get stressed with them, its not worth making yourself ill over a Nigerian criminal. I wonder why the majority are from Nigeria?

I found the site from a Land Rover forum I was perusing, its a bit hard going if you want to read the stories, but superbly funny. I'm glad someone is giving these people a taste of their own medicine.
