Just thought I would make people aware that live in the UK or UK citizens living outside the UK. Received an email from what appeared to be from HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs). It did not give my name but told me I had a tax rebate lol basically what they are after is all your banks details as there is an attachment which say it is a Tax Refund Form. I have been told that this email is making its rounds.

The e-mail scam I got on Thursday was that I won 1 million pounds from Coco Cola being randomly electronically selected. Fark that mob wouldn't give you the steam off their piss so it had to be bulsh.

Hello Dear
My name is Mrs Ruth Williams; I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to you/church. I am 77 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer for about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who has left me everything he worked for and because the doctors told me I will not live longer than some weeks because of my health, I decided to donate the sum of $35,400,000 (Thirty five million four hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of humanity, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows.
I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly,and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Contact my lawyer(Barr.Aba Williams ) with this pecified email:([email protected]) and tell him that I have donated($35,400,000.00) to you and I have also notified him. I know I dont know you but I have been directed to do this. my lawyer will assist you to cliam the money from the ECO Bank.Bank where it is being deposited.
Thanks and God bless.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. Mrs.Ruth Williams

ill tell you about a scam its called hearing aids
I took my son for a test with a private provider few months back as he was complaining of not hearing some things, and they said oh he needs these hearing aids today, only cost you $15,000!
So I went for a second opinion today with the public government hearing place and they said he dosent need the hearing aids at all! Totally different test results! Found out he had a bit of wax in his ears that was effecting his hearing.
So be careful

Carole dont get me started on the river of gold that is available to the spectacle salespeople,
Case in point, we took all three kids for a test, the guy says hey good news they are all clear,
Now what we can do wink wink nudge nudge is that I see you have private health insurance, glory be its made my day, what we will do is we will make up the glasses for the kids anyway, as they get free frames and we have star wars frames all kids love these dont you kids? , basically they will just be expensive frames with window glass in them, but I get a sale out of it, and I ll throw in a pair of free sunnies!
This happens every day!

I get a reply from NT. All looks real, they bargain a little and I agree on a price.
They said they are working with an oil&gas exploration company and will send a courier to pick up.
Then another email, she needs to pay the courier before they can accept the job. So she transfers an extra $1850. Then I get an email from PayPal, saying that funds have been received but put on hold until I release the $1850 though transferwise. When I do, I should send a copy of proof of payment to PayPal, who will then release my money.
This is very very professional. The emails from PayPal look legitimate, she even sent me a photo of her license (obviously fake....I checked to find her on facebook, nope)
These prix are getting very smart. Im not easily fooled but this one had me going for a while. I even started to look for another car.
