I didn't want it to sound too far fetched

and here's my reply to the latest email...

Quote:
Hello Mr Claims Department (or is that mrs or miss or ms , what is your name anyway?)

I am so delighted to see that my details are correct , i'm telling you i'm so excited I could shit.
I am a little confused though , what is this application form I need and why does it cost $155?
Is paper really in such short supply there? I could get you a good discount on a block of 1000 sheets of A4 if you need it that badly. I'll give it to you for nothing if you like after all I am about to get 200,000 smackeroonies.

Are you sure you couldn't find me a cheaper one? I don't mind if it's a bit dog eared or has coffee rings on it.

As for receiving my prize would it be at all possible for a friend or relative to pick it up on my behalf ?

I have a good friend who lives in Oz called Harold Bishop who married my sister's cousins mother in law. I spoke to him about my good fortune. I told him that you are based in Somewherevule , and he tells me that he only lives 45 minutes drive away from there and could get there no trouble at all. I could quite easily get in touch with my solicitors Messrs Peter , Bjorn & John Associates to sort out all the paperwork & legal documentation to make this happen.

Anyway if this isn't possible please get in touch with me and let me know how else it is possible to claim my prize.

May the seed of loins grow fruitful in the belly of your woman

Jeremy xx

No they're not bots , they're trying to scam people out of money. As soon as they realise someone might fall for it all the replies you get are personal.
