    You must be so proud to be an honoured member of a very elite group: an email user. I'd say: Kick back with a big smug grin on your face and press delete when it starts to fade.

    Pass the email on to one of the political parties. I'm sure they would like to get their hands on the legal money.

    i want one, seems like a very good deal... What could possibly go wrong like? It's not like there's bad people out there who want to rob my money, is there?







    Seriously, how do they expect those scams to work? Who falls for them??
