The phone number has been used in other scams too. http://www.419scam.org/emails/2006-01/18/432440.221.htm I was pretty tempted to ring actually
It is quite innovative, if he had put a reasonable figure maybe 10k it is possible he might be able to trick some, but 1 million pounds is really a giveaway scam.

http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/ Look at this page, it's pretty funny, It's about guys who've been receiving e-mails from nigerian scammers, so these smart guys decided to reverse scam the nigerian scammers and play with their nerves. Some pretty funny stuff there!!
I really don't understand why these SPAMMERS waste their time behind such stupid scams. Such a waste of time, even a kid can understand that it is a SCAM, lol
Not everyone will know it is a scam. I am sorry to say but there are some very gullible people in the world. Even if only 1 in 1M people bite, I imagine they will still profit from it. Like I said earlier; They wouldn't do it if it didn't work.
I don't really think those people who were conned were gullible. They were too greedy that greedy turned them blind.
I actually had one of these people call me and tell me I was in a drawing because I had a discovery card, and I would receive a gift for which I would only have to pay the shipping and handling part. So he asked me for my Card info...... but this is all funny because I have never owned a Discovery card : /
