Spam Email Du Jour

Hey everybody! My email's just won me a cool £460,000 and a brand new ...errr... 2009 Range Rover in the Google Yearly Award Programme"!

I've seen a few scams in my time, but I think this is absolutely 100 per cent legit, even though it took them the best part of three months to track me down and tell me I had won.

But Google, eh? What do they know about finding stuff?

Also, I am indebted to Barclays Bank for this timely email warning:

I shall open an account immediately, then send you my full details, PIN and mother's maiden name.

Thank you for writing, Barclays Bankers!* The exclamation mark shows that you are the real thing, because scammers don't use punctuation.

*NOT rhyming slang
