A male United Kingdom, *enny writes:

Hi all,

I just lately i have been retrieving some messages in my mail box which have been quite lenthy to say the least. In a nut shell the person is talking about vast sums of money being transfered to different accounts, and having to part with cash yourself at the end, and saying you will be really well off.

It all sounds really suspicious to me as i have also seen things like this in the post too.

I was just advising you all that if you get anything like this to treat it with caution.

All the best,

Kenny.
