Plus of course the obligatory TICK HERE box to complete the scam. All of the above now resides in my Bin awaiting emptying!
Unbelievable isn't it!

No OGF, I don't think so somehow. I might just wait for the next one as that might be more lucrative! They really are quite pathetic but I guess they only need one or two vulnerable people.The last one I received was even more involved, that was an offer to pay money into my account via yet another scammer. They wanted my account details to do this, which obviously were not given to them. The second one duly contacted me with the offer of £ thousands that were to be paid to me. Then when there was no response they even started hassling me more. I just let them continue – then put all the e-mails in the Bin! That was the fourth or fifth of similar scams, why do they bother when there's no take-up?

Re: Seen A Scam? Warn us if you have!
Two more -1. People expecting parcels. Scammers are pretending to be orthodux companies, and once they have your money they are not sending the goods you've ordered.
This was on the news yesterday and some shoppers are getting something else entirely arrive.
One I particularly remember was a man who paid for some expensive compter stuff, and received 6 tins of cheap dog food instead!
The company wouldn't refund the customer as they had proof of postage and said they put the right order in the box!
2. Bogus meter readers are about trying to gain access to people's homes.

If there still remains any doubt, I feel as angry with these con artists as anyone.

Certainly, if the buyer uses a credit card, the credit card company would ensure a full refund in such a case.

Firstly, if I buy anything online, I will only pay by PayPal. If the seller does not accept PayPal, then I look for one that does. I do buy a lot of things from eBay and Amazon.I have only had one problem earlier, but the bank got my money back.
As for Baz46 email, there is a group that hooks onto these ‘BOYS’ and will play with them for ages. (419 Eater).

The order was for a piece of technical stuff.
When I complained, Amazon, at first, were wary.
In the end, they asked for the parcel & contents to be returned and shipped out another correct item.
One thing I did learn was that Amazon have cameras everywhere, even in the parcel packing area, and are able to see what's shut into your parcel.
Good for them!
That worked OK.
