Silly Spammer, no biscuit...

What fun - I have just received an e-mail from Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance Government of United Kingdom to tell me that I am eligible to receive a tax refund of 988.50 GBP!!

I would just have to click a link, fill in my details, and wait three or four days for them to process it all. Fancy!

Only problem - I don't pay UK tax, being Manx... Silly Spammer.

(As well as the British Government not being the 'Government of United Kingdom', not having a 'Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance' - and if they did they'd probably know how to use spaces after commas... and the £ sign...)

Yes - and the number of times Egg bank want me to update my details for them - you might almost think I had an account with them!

But you're right - to me the description of who they were was so false that even if I actually paid UK tax I would have realised - but some people are taken in, which is very sad.
