errrr SCAM!!! note this address jaa_cole007@yahoo.co.uk
what I do is post the info on here then reply to the scam'er with the link to this thread. worth everyone doing this because if you're not sure about an enquiry just search on the email address and normally straight away you find out if its a scam or not. its the way I found this forum on the last scam.
Does anyone know how they make money from it all? just seems that it takes up time for everyone.....

see you next time!!

I came across the following poem the other day. I think it was probably written by the same chap who keeps sending these daft spam enquiries.
  • ODE TO THE WHITE MAN

    Me come to England poor and broke
    Go down dole see labour bloke
    Fill in form and stand around
    Kind man gave me plenty pound
    Me thank him very much he say
    Come back next week, get more pound.

    Me write letter Pakistan
    Tell all friends come quick as can
    All is nicely settled down
    Nice Big house in London town
    Twenty families living up
    Twice as many living down
    More in garden in a tent
    Social workers pay the rent

    Six month later big bank role
    Go down labour draw more dole
    Wife wants glasses teeth more pills
    All is free get no bills

    Me think of England damn fine place
    Much too nice for white man race
    God bless white man big and small
    He pay tax to keep us all.

Peter,

"Political Correctness" For me, two mutually exclusive words used together to apply censorship to thought and expression.

The poem is not intended to upset anyone (other than spammers of course), it's just quite funny.

I don't get it. Is it an anti-Pakistani joke?
