Neil, don't reply to it, I think it might be fake.

As it happens I have several million dollars locked away in an off shore account, if you send me all of your banking details I will send you a generous donation.wink

I regularly get emails telling me ladies with cancer, the united nations, corrupt officials and the relatives of intestate corpses want to share several millions of dollars with me. All scams phishing for my bank details.

Well that's what you get for having about 8 e-mail addresses and at least one alter ego that we know about Stubbysmile p

With telephone scams I usually try to keep them talking for a while and then ask them what the scam is - at this point they normally hang up, although sometimes they do cast doubt on my parentage first.

Talked to a scammer once and he admitted that he wanted my bank details so that he could steal my money.

Thought this type of spam died out years ago, just goes to show, you Can't keep an old dog down!

For anyone that is interested, my neighborhood alert team (SY Police) have sent me a link to website called quad9.net which blocks access to known malicious websites.

All you have to do is enter 9.9.9.9 (hence the name of the site) as your DNS address ( add to top of list).

Job done.
