Ignore it. These are scams (as you have no doubt guessed) that usually orginate from Nigeria. They used to be fairly infrequent but now I see them all the time. Especially if you have a BT or Yahoo account.

There are some funny examples of people winding these con artists up and getting them to do mental stuff thinking they are going to be able to scam them if they do. I haven’t explained that very well, but take a look here for what I mean:

hahaha thy church of thy painted breast brilliant.

i do a simmilar thing with sales calls (usually in the evening when ya about to eat ya tea) I sound really interested and go along with what they are saying (you can hear their tone of voice change as they think they are in). then i say hold on ill just get some bank details and then leave the phone on the side while i tuck in to my tea.

also when u get them pre paid envelopes thru the post for things like insurence or new conservatories etc seal them up empty and send them back. the companies will then still have to pay the postage. or better still stick all your other junk mail inside and send that off

They’re known as 419’s in the internet security business.. more and more common recently..

The 419 refers to a formerly relevant section of the Nigerian Criminal Code..
