Problem being they won't stop when you do - and they tell they're friends.

Been a glut of those lately & if I claimed them all I could buy Bill Gates :D

lol yea but this doesn't make any sense, whats the use of sending spams like these?? how far can it get??? no where it's mentioned we got to pay them and secondly even if some one falls for it, there is no need to provide the bank details or do we have to?

They follow up in a less than convincing way and people have been dupped out of &#163;30,000 before.

I'm pretty sure you meant "Funniest" and not "Best." This is unmistakably a scam. I've only gotten these like twice in my inbox on GMail.

I just looked through my Spam folder and found a lot of spam; now then I realise how much mail Gmail is actually filtering.

Yeah, gmail filters a ton of junk mail for me too. I didn't use to get spam at that address, then one day, man, it just started piling in. Been like that since!
