British Pounds Sterling to share in the ratio of 50: 50 percent. I
would require your full names, physical address, telephone and fax numbers
to facilitate the preparation of the necessary paperwork that will
legitimize your claims and further lead to the release of the said
funds(Ten Million British Pounds Sterling) to your designated bank account upon
receipt of this funds we shall meet as agreed for terms of sharing.

I was just running through my nets for anything interestng to bait and I spotted this. It seems more than a little cheeky to use lawyer.com as the reception mail addy for scam mailings.

I don't know, but would it be likely they would vet their mail account holders more than yahoo or gmail - maybe not, but if they did would it be possible to pour some acid on this scammers tail ? I.m sure a lawyers website would be more than a little miffed to find their services being used by a scammer.

Others would know better than me about this - any suggestions - apart from cruel and hurtful ones aimed at me Very Happy

Gomer, lawyer.com is a free email domain from www.mail.com

Scampatroller beat me to it.

I find mail.com is a great source of domain names for baiter addresses, such as techie.com, lawyer.com etc. They have some ideal ones if you want to come off as a legit businessman/lawyer, priest, etc.

Aaaaaah - dammed google. I picked up THElawyer.com Embarassed

Grrrrrrrr - don't like to see Lads using such plausible addies. I get a desire to put a fist on their noses.

Amazing isn't it the first company in history to go bankrupt and leave a massive surplus.

Companies don't go bankrupt they go either into administration or insolvency. Individuals go bankrupt. But we don't tell the lads that do we? Laughing

And who gets the other �5M?, �15M surplus, we'll split �10M, half each?
