I've got 419 scams through the regular post recently as well. Allegedly someone with a similar name who got caught in the tsunami and left X MILLION US DOLLARS ready for me to pick up from a bank in Spain.

As if any Irish person would have "a large sum of money" these days.

....unless it's from Willie O'Dea or John O'Donoghue ?

Its about time really.

After all any militant Gaelgoir will point out that it is their civil right as an Irish speaker (TM) to receive their 419 spam in their native language :pac:

Do the spammers realise there are grants available for this sort of thing ?
