    I got a similar email two days ago and I replied with bif "F" word and asked them to stop spamming. Astonishingly, today I got a reply giving some fake address and telephone numbers. :eek:

    And they gave me the bank email too. Guess what? :p
    banksomething @ yahoo.com :D
    These idiots can't realize how stupid they are. :D

    Pity those storys are myths...their are quite a few that have been going around over the last couple of years.

    I keep getting the ones supposidly from banks asking to update the information, even banks I have never heard of.
    The text gives them away..... "I earnestly implore you" and similar :D

    I dont think the 419eater stories are myths...ive unfortunately read every single one of those posts(unfortunate because it took many hours that i should have been doinf something more productive) and laughed many times.

    Ive always tried to counter the scammers but the guys on that site bring it to a whole new level....church of loaves and fishes is my fav
