Last night I was discussing internet scams with Gypsy Rose McPhee, today another one arrived, YES!

Why YES!?!? Because I'd decided that next time one came I would play along, giving them ridiculous made up personal details, asking irrelevant questions, and generally wasting their time. So, here is what the scam email says:

"AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK Group.

NO 12 TINUBU SQUARE LAGOS - NIGERIA.
YOUR FUND RELEASE.
This is to bring to your notice that my office has taking over all the money Transaction originated from any part of African/ Europe and Asia counties as Contract payment, Fund inheritance or contract award from Nigeria at from 1987 to date that the amount exceed US10, 000, 000.00) and Lottery Winning.

Due to Unauthorized/incapability of financial Institutions/security companies In releasing such huge sum of money due to Fraud, terrorist and money Laundry activities going on world wide. The World Bank Group has Mandated the African Development bank via my Office to release funds to beneficiaries through certified International Cashier's Bank Draft, Hence Your Name appears as one of The fund beneficiaries whom their fund was successfully cleared recently From Terrorist and Money laundry and your money will be released to you Through International Cashier's Bank Draft that will be cashable from any International Bank in your country been the only way you would receive Your money to avoid paying excess charges.

Thanks for your cooperation.
Mr. Donald Kaberuka (President)"

Well, it is terrible English right? So as they asked me to contact Rev Kampson Lars with lots of my details, I sent the following:
"Thanks for thinking of me with regard to handling your money. The details you requested are as follows:
Name : Cliff Richard
Phone : 0800 694 5566 (I don't know what you need to add to dial UK from your tinpot country)
I look forward to receiving confirmation that funds are in place and ready to transfer.
Love and hugs,
Cliff
xx"
So now I wait to see what happens next! The phone number I gave, by the way, is for Norton Finance, who may be better placed to offer financial assistance than me ;o) The photo is a Google image of "Kampson Lars" - fake glasses and tache maybe? ROFLMAO!
The game is afoot!
