Geez, they didn't even ask for your bank account details to put the money into. What kind of scam artists are they?
 
How do these scams work? even if you gave them a bank account number what could they do with it?

presumbly they ask for expenses to cover transfer fees or something?

A little off-topic, but if you want a good read, some good taped phone calls and pranks, go to 419 Eater.

He is a scammer who uses tactics to scam the scammers of the world — scambaiting.

In all, a very entertaining site. :D
 
The good old lottery scam

Ah, the good old lottery scam........ I remember the day when the now (ex) girlfriend came home all excited after she had pulled one of these letters out of our letterbox.

Thought of me as a bit of a party pooper when I told her it wasn't real.............so we played along, wrote them a letter back expressing how excited we were and whilst we couldn't accept payment into our bank account because our bank didn't permit international transfers, we'd be happy to accept a cheque for the amount made out to us.

We did get a letter back explaining why they can only do bank transfers, but alas no cheque.

It was worth a try :D
