I had to laugh at this today, received from a scammer without prompting him for ID. Strangely he looks just like Jack Dee!
This: He wrote this to my special scammers mailbox. I have never heard of him before, it's the old make out you are the next of kin for a dead client scam. If I went along with it then there would be a hitch or some money would be needed to pay for some document or other. Either way he would would be looking to get me to pay for something and then disappear with the cash. Here's his IP but as he uses Outlook.com it's not possible to see what country he is actually sending the message from. UK phone number by the look of it.

Saw a program on these scams and they said that they actually make the language &a spelling bad on purpose. The reason being, nobody with any sense would respond to the above, but they don't want anyone with any sense. They want the stupid. It's almost like a screening program that distils us smarter folk.
