I work in fraud prevention and the more successful scams to get information from people work by playing on their greed, the person that promises to get them a phone that the company is selling for $300 for only $1 if they send him their account information, the person that calls and offers them a credit on their account or a rebate if only they will “verify” their account information, all those scams play on peoples greed.

You mean there isn't really £1,000,000 waiting for me in a large overseas bank? Dr David Kabila actually sent me a picture of himself as well, which must be proof that he is well meaning! He is also the son of the president, and he chose to e-mail me! I guess I'd better go and retract my handing in of my notice to my employer and cancel the 4 month holiday to hawaii
