Total scam. First it says your e mail addy won 1 million pounds. Not you, your e mail. Phishing. Then the message says you get paid 200k out of the total 1 million, along with 13 other winners. Big BS. Report it to Coca Cola. Now go drink some 7 Up. !!*ok*!!

I got a lot of these over the years, this is the first pretending to be a legit company like Coca Cola, my favorite soft drink.

OH yeah, I already bought all of the bridges in Pittsburgh.... !*roll-laugh*!

There are so many comedy errors in it it's hardly worth listing them!

Postcode (The SW11 5W bit) isn't long enough for starters, and even if it was correct it would be in Battersea/Clapham which is on the other/wrong side of the river to Stamford Bridge.

And the bloke who signed it retired earlier in the year it seems.

Other than that, and the dozen other things that are blatantly wrong, it looks great.

!**duh*!!

Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you.
But if fate should mark me to sit by your side,
Let's be pleasant travellers; it's so short a ride."

Seriously Bob. I think it is time to do some real cleaning on your PC. Maleware, Spam, viruses etc. CCleaner and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware programs are a good start. They are FREE! Time to disinfect. !!*ok*!!

I am clean Joe, I use Norton Internet Security. What's that got to do with an email? Norton does a quick scan everyday when I boot up. It deletes about 9 cookies daily and that's it.

This just happened to my Mom today. We found an email in response to one never sent, supposedly from the director of Dad's funeral. The message subject is 'RE; DOCUMENT' (First clue right there) And the text was

'
Please view the document i uploaded for you using Google docs.

Click here just sign in with your email to view the document its very important.

Thank you.
'

Is that sick or what? The email is signed with his name, address, 2 phone numbers and his email address! !*hp*! Scams are pretty sick these days. *!sad!*

Now this funeral director has a problem. He's infected with malware that grabbed his e-mail contacts.
