Scams and Spam
This has to do with travel because it came from the UK, supposedly.
I've received a nearly official looking email, with only one misspelling, informing me that I have won 850,000 GBP in a secret lottery not open to the public.
I need only send some simple personal information - including bank account number - to verify my identity and they will deposit this sum in my bank account.
Lucky me!
Where should I go with my winnings?

I can't tell you how much money I have been priviledged to receive from Nigerian sources as I am a prominent person and am willing to serve as a conduit for secret bank accounts.
Unfortunately, since I started using spamfighter, the offers have vanished.

There are more or less relevant suggestions about what to do with the money at www.419eater.com and www.ebolamonkeyman.com.
Neither site would win many awards from the politically correct.
