Ok – this is a website about scammers, fraudsters and phishers.
So – if you sign up to my mailing list, I imagine you expect to be sent information about, well, scammers, fraudsters and phishers. And you probably ought to realise that if you try to scam me you are (I hope) unlikely to succeed.
But – two people seem to think that they can write and ask me for money!!!!
I know - I should have written back in the spirit of most of the entries on this blog and asked them for an advance fee. Come to think of it, maybe I’ll try that next time!
Here are the emails I’ve received:

I regret to say, Mr Monkbaatar got the sharp edge of my tongue, expressed in an email. Whilst, as requested, I assured Mr Sankar (below) that I wouldn’t forget him!

Looks like direct appeals are the “new” fake wins. As with fake wins, the appeals are also for ridiculously large amounts of money. Hey, why ask for $200 when you can ask for $200k. This is one that was sent to a fellow member of a forum. As with the ones sent to me, this scammer joined the member’s mailing list first:
