I'm still waiting for HMRC to refund that money they said they owed me in an email. It had their logo on it and everything, so I'm pretty sure it was genuine.
 
I can stop these coming to you. Just pm your account and sort code details to me and I'll take care of the rest.

I have seen Halifax branches and can confirm that it is a place in Yorkshire which offers a crap night out.
 
If you send me yours, I'll let you know.

Tell you what, it would be easier if I just paid all of my wealth directly into your bank account. Saves all this messing about.

What is your account number Rhydal?

It would be my pleasure to supply that for you, but I'm afraid I can't release that information until I have received and verified the information previously requested from yourself.

Your understanding in this matter is appreciated.

Forget it. I'm going back to Brigadier General Iffy Ganacious of the Nigerian Republican Guard. His sister had an aunt that was in charge of the entire banking system in Nigeria for thirty years and after she died there is five hundred million Nigerian dollars to go to any Westerner that offers to assist moving the money out of the country.

He is far less demanding than you Rhydal.

The fact he's not Welsh sealed it for me.
You can't argue with that.

Not to be sniffed at. That could get you up to six items at Poundland

I still haven't received your account details. If you take the Nigerian option you will be cursed with 40 years bad luck, your genitals will shrink to the size of an olive and you will receive an amount of e-mail which may crash your home server, pc and any other device connected to it.

Is it really worth the risk?
