    I've had some claiming to be from financial institutions that don't exist, you'd have to be really stupid to fall for one of those.

    I love scanning through my spam filter and having a good old chuckle at some of the subject lines. My favourite was "Give your shlong the attention it deserves". Had me in fits!

    Unfortunately, I mainly get a lot of offers for fake Philippe Patek watches which aren't as amusing as they're not generally used for penis extensions as far as I'm aware, more as a symbol to demonstrate what a man hasn't got...

    I think i've had one from every single UK bank and building society

    I did start forwarding them to the phising address but gave up after a while.

    I'm at work - I woudln't have opened it at home man!! I'm not daft!!

    yeah - I sent it there straight away.

    I get about 50 spam emails a day - seriously, I've tried everything to get rid of them. I just accept them now - penis enlargements, viagra, loose 50 stone in 3 days, 1p shares, "hi I'm lonely and would love to meet you", etc etc etc etc.
    Never had a genuine bank details one though!

    Yes - I've already got his bank details, thanks

    I keep getting ones telling me that the Internal Revenue Service want to give me a refund on my overpaid tax.

    I had one from Halifax, the English was so bad it could have been from a recent school leaver.

    Thanking you for your considerable cooperations in these matters

    They are always in terrible English, so unless you are thick or dyslexic you won't be stung.

    Yes, well done, now they know their spambot has hit a human from that 'special' URL in the email.
