Just received via SMS the news that I won 2 million US dollars in an international mobile phone based lotto competition - seems the email hoaxing is giving way to newer technology - but they still want "proof of identity" (via email) and your info so that they can scam you of "processing fees" or even dip into your account...
Just remember there is nothing for nothing in this world - just greed that causes us to forget it.

Another scam that is doing the rounds is when you have something listed for sale on carpoint or boatpoint and ebay too. An email comes in expressing interest and urgency and payment to be made by paypal.
When you send a paypal invoice you then receive a false email with a paypal logo on it saying that the money has been deposited but that you will have to send money by western union before the funds can be released.
There are quite a few people who have been duped into sending money.
i would like to get hold of these people & break there noses with some sort of weapon
People, beware of this scam, it’s serious.
Two incredibly attractive women in skimpy bikinis are stalking men in supermarket car parks. They say that they need a lift to a photo shoot or something over on the other side of town and are willing to pay for your help by way of a threesome in your car. One gets in the front seat and one in the back. When you arrive at the destination, true to their promise, the two women start to get down to business. Then the one in the front seat takes off your trousers and begins her “fiendish work”. Soon you become so distracted that you don’t realise the one in the back has got out of the car and made off with your wallet and trousers. The one in the front then bolts too, and without trousers you are hardly likely to follow shouting cries of “rape” are you.
This is one of the worst scams yet, I have been scammed three times this week already, thought I should warn you all.
If confronted with the two girls, once the offer is made grab a cheap feel of both them, promptly walk off with a thanks.
