Anyway so I’ve decided I am Richard Alderman, Elm House, 10-16 Elm Street, London, WC1X 0BJ…thats the head of the Serious Fraud Office and the address for reporting serious fraud.
Now I just need to some how get him to send me a contact address and a letter detailing my massive win to that address.
September 6, 2008 at 1:24 am #1178970You know, I won the UK National Lottery a couple of years ago, too. I got this very email and then for some reason, I was never able to claim my prize. Go figure.
September 6, 2008 at 6:03 am #1178966I was send this one too :you_crazy
September 6, 2008 at 6:29 am #1178969Who would have thought we would have so many lucky winners on one site!!! :weee:
September 6, 2008 at 10:39 am #1178967There is a site into scam baiting….. have a gander mate as you might get some inspiration from them :laugh_at:
September 6, 2008 at 10:59 pm #1178965Yeh I’ve told him I’m seriously injured and would need to hire an agent to arraneg the exchange of funds and can pay an advance of £10k.
Hopefully I can get him to send a stamped addressed envelope to the serious fraud ofice for me to “return with the cheque”.
September 7, 2008 at 5:10 am #1178971Without a doubt, my favorite part of the letter:
“All
> Participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn from a
> pool of over 25,000 names of distinguished professionals”Nice. I’m not making any value statements about you guys, but having received this letter, I can confidently say that the “pool of over 25,000…distinguished professionals” may be somewhat polluted. 😉
September 7, 2008 at 4:55 pm #1178968scam baiting is long just send him a signed photo of your dick and balls
