My good lady receives a dozen variations on the above theme almost everyday at her yahoo address, just cant block the darn things out.
A new player on the block is some Chinese company looking for a rep in almost any country, to handle exports and funds on their behalf for a client list that cannot do it themselves..sheesh!!
Oh, and I have lost count of how many times she has received notification of a UK lottery win...sure hope they were all hoaxes ;)
Cheers mate

PS, Yogi, I,m back home in Canada. Had scant use of the internet in the UK, sorry mate (dollars)!

Funny thing is I have 2 yahoo address that I only used for pips when I joined last summer. Since then I get this at my emails like every other day. I wonder why this is only going to my pips yahoo emails and not my non-pips yahoo emails
