    My name is Price Umdo Dinger. I have been looking for a bank like Aston Villa to invest my $1,000,000,000 inheritance. Please send a transfer fee of $10,000 to my UK bank and you can deduct the fee when you receive my deposit.

    Perhaps we should do some communal baiting - see 419eaters.com - I reckon we could come up with some plausible baiting to get something out of one of the feckers. Perhaps we could endeavour to get a CUK themed something - perhaps get them to get a CUK tattoo : "I CUK" or something...

    Firstly, I didn't have an email address in 1993 (being not too far out of short trousers), so how do they know it's me?!

    Second, I've never played the Irish Lottery!!

    Jeeez, it's enough to make you weep (with helpless laughter), isn't it?
    yeh i got one last week! Just waiting for my money now....

    But they're not asking for any money from you, so how can it be a scam? I'll be applying at lunchtime.
