It makes me laugh how they almost all call themselves 'doctor' or 'pastor' or something like that.

I had one from a 'Canadian financier' who wanted to give me lots of money on behalf of an Arab Prince. This wasn't for an apartment, it was because I am such a lovely and influential person.

I am now very rich indeed, but am waiting for Special Branch to appear any minute.

Seriously at the time I wondered if I should have contacted the police, but our FD said she got them all the time and it wasn't worth it. Just take the money.

They're a good laugh, though. I can't think that anybody is really taken in by them. It could be an episode of 'Spooks'

Having written this, and then subsequently come across PC's long posting on an earlier thread, I humbly apologise for being facetious!!
