Correction Jan 17 Thayenga wrote: Sir/Madam, On behalf of the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) in affiliation with Western Union Campaign for Global Economic Crisis eradication... Shouldn't that be, "Western Union Campaign for Global Economic Crisis Eradication (WUCGECE)"? Just nitpicking.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated. Please add any additional comments or explanation (optional)

Thank you for sharing Believe it or not, people do fall for it. It costs the scammers practically nothing to send this spam email to hundreds and thousands of people, so even a 0.001% success rate is fine with them.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Hi Allison, perhaps you'd like to share your perfectly correct correction ( ) with the sender.

Allison Wright   Portugal Local time: 19:54 Member (2010) German to English + ...	Changes to this e-mail are possible. Jan 17 I note with interest that the copyright on this material expired recently. I am also curious as to why gender would be an issue (item 6). In all my professional and personal dealing with offshore banks, no one ever mentioned the word "sex" (although there was a certain amount of discussion about the weather involved). Thanks for the chuckle, Thayenga.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated. Please add any additional comments or explanation (optional)
Thayenga Germany Local time: 20:54 Member (2009) English to German + ... TOPIC STARTER	Occupation??? Jan 18 They also request info about one's occupation (7). What would that have to do with the prize? Perhaps as much as the gender has to do with it? Just guessing. Maybe that's why they let the copyright expire, although I wasn't aware of the fact that even massive scam can be copyrighted. You're welcome, Allison.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated. Please add any additional comments or explanation (optional)
