My question here has to be, apart from thje obvious erros with regards spelling and grammar (which considering todays education systems around the world is probably to be expected), is why would they need the following information:-
card number: Ok so as to make a deposit into it...
card limit: Excuse me????
card owner: Ahem - what the hell for - however, that's ok....
card owner address: And why?
date of birth: of the horse???
mother's median name: median name - is that like a geographical coord of her place of birth???
bank name and address: For purpose of? Wanna plant a bomb maybe - raghead brother
telephone number of card owner: for the purpose of?
cvv numbers: oh, yea, how about I give you some dna samples as well, hey, here's a pile fo shit, see if you can use that!!!
See? I mean it's so glaringly obvious the guys a spammer.... problem is some people fall for it....

I really don't know how anyone falls for it, but they must or these guys would have given up long ago.
I've set up a fake email account and name making myself a director of a charity. Whenever I get emails from them pretending that they have money they will give me, I use this other account. I copy over the email from them and tell them I'm happy for them that they have so much money and that I would have given them a lot of money but obviously they don't need it. . . hehe
I like Jeanine's response to the spamming. Let them think they're giving money to a charity and they'll run a mile. Only thing with tat is that genuine charities might be affected by this and people may start giving even less to them....?
