We've just come back from taking Brian's Mum to see her friends at Grantham before she goes home tomorrow, and as I was making the coffee, Brian checked the PC for chookblog messages!!!

Look at this one!!!!!!!!! I'm famous

From Marcio in Spain!!!!! gostaria de fazer uma criação de galinhas goold line , quero comprar 1200 galinhas e um galo

Only problem is, I don't have any Goldlines and I don't have 1200, and even if I did, how do I get them to spain?

lol Also, my tiny bit of spanish can't read the rest of the message!!!!!!

Wow, if you want a translation..I have a friend who speaks Spanish just mail me the text plus what you want to say in reply. We're seeing these friends at the weekend! Or...alternatively there is one of our forum living in Spain so maybe she can speak Spanish!

So you think i'm in there do you Bodger? Would I be oneof the 1200 though???

I had a lot and still am getting a lot of these type of messages concerning a horse I had for sale, they are scams trying to get information from you, about you.
They are usually saying that they have x amount of pounds to buy my horse and requesting my bank details etc so they can arrange payment.
I think not!! :evil: :evil:

He sounds like the Nigerian king I was speaking to last week

Yes, usually wanting to give me vast amounts of money that was left to him by his beloved father who was murdered by the state secret police.
and as my surname is the same as his family name then I must be a long lost relative and he wants to make sure the money stays in the family.
I usually have at leat two every day. I just delete without opening.
It is such a shame that some people fall for these scams. There was a program on the TV the other week about internet dating and the scams that are happening and people are falling for them.

BEFORE THE PASSING AWAY OF MY LATE HUSBAND, HE WAS ALSO A MAJOR OIL TYCOON IN MALAYSIA, AND DEPOSITED THE SUM OF US$8.700, 000.00(EIGHT
MILLION,SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) IN A SECURITY COMPANY SOME YEARS AGO, THAT'S ALL I HAVE LEFT NOW, I NEED YOUR HELP TO COLLECT THIS FUNDS ON MY BEHALF AS MY BONAFIDE BENEFICIARY AND DISTRIBUTE IT YOURSELF TO CHARITY HOMES,PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATION AND ORPHANAGES. SO THAT WHEN I DIE MY SOUL WILL REST IN PEACE.

I PRAY YOU HAVE THE WISDOM TO TOUCH MANY LIVES WITH THIS PROJECT WHICH IS MY MAIN CONCERN. I AM OFFERING YOU 30% OF THE FUND TO YOU TO FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, WHILE 70% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE USED IN ALL SINCERITY TO FUND PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATION, ORPHANAGES.

I AM TAKING THIS DECISION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY CHILD OR DEVOTED RELATIONS WHOSE BEHAVIOR HAS LEFT MUCH TO BE DESIRED WHILE I AM ILL AND ABOVE ALL I DON'T WANT A SITUATION WHERE THIS MONEY WILL BE USED IN AN UNGODLY MANNER, HENCE THIS BOLD DECISION. PLEASE NOTE THAT AS SOON AS I RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM YOU, I WILL FORWARD TO YOU THE CONTACT DETAILS OF MY ATTORNEY WHO WILL CARRY YOU ALONG LEGALLY AS MY NEW BONAFIDE
BENEFICIARY THAT WILL AUTHENTICATE YOUR CLAIM LEGALLY WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY.
