There are so many spelling and grammatical mistakes in it, you couldn't possibly fall for it unless English wasn't your first language so beware any of us that receive this sort of thing in our chosen 2nd language! :shock:

The sad thing is that peope do fall for it - distracted, stressed or just plain stupid. Not many, I suspect but it is so easy to send out several thousand messages and get a few bites.
