Yeah, I got one from an Australian camel farm owner who thought a male camel writing reviews for a music website would enhance the gene pool in that camel farm. I turned her down because I prefer my life in Mecca (the bingo halls).  

Seriously? Thats hilarious!

I've had my main e-mail address for so long, I'm fairly sure 99% is spam, granted there are some "spams" I've signed up for.  I'm pretty sure my penis has gotten larger just by coming in contact with those I didn't sign up for..  
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I get e-mails like that every now and then, and they never fail to make me laugh - for obvious reasonsWink.

For some strange reason, the Nigeria spammers love the police in the UK. In particular those addresses where you can report Nigeria spam mails. These email accounts get tonnes of Nigerian mails every day..... directly from the spammers in the internet cafeterias in Nigeria.  

I also get my fair share of Nigeria mail. But not as much as the local police force. It is a menace, but one of those menaces I have to live with, I am afraid.

I received one from "the self proclaimedPresident" of an African Bank (The only one with a Yahoo mail), who said a whole family had died in an accident and left 10 USMD (That's how they wrote US$ 10'000,000, I guess the M stands for Millions) unclaimed.
 
What was really terrible, is that they sent me a link from the BBC onljne where a news about a whole familiy who had a plane accident was posted.
 
This was creepy, even for scum as this guys, to play with tyhe pain of the poeple.
