Most spammers have a better idea of who gets taken in by them than you
do, given that they make lots of money off those who get taken in.

Mind you, I always make sure and fill in all my bank details whenever
someone mails me asking for them. I can't help it if I get some of
them a little wrong, though. Hope I'm not wasting too much of anyones
time.

I guess they must do, or they'd stop doing it ..

No, you keep right on with the minor mistakes ..

As a laugh, we once sent in some forms with everything filled in with thick
felt pen, effectively saying we had no job, no income, no fixed abode, loads
of debt and were drug-dependant ... We were offered £3000 loan ... it
suddenly wasn't a laugh anymore, and showed how easy it is for someone to
fall into their 'trap' ..

Indeed. I got a preapproved form for a £5000 loan from my bank a
couple of months ago, who knew full well that my income had been
solely from benefits for over a year. Maybe the fact that the loan
repayment rate was more expensive than that on my credit card was a
factor influencing the fact they were offering me that lending.

I have the same memory problem. Its not surprising I get a few of the
details wrong when I often can't even remember having an account at the
bank.

Ah, but I'm only a spammer if I don't contribute to this group (which I do
regularly). I just a concerned cyclist, who wants to give people something
to do during our (very) wet summer.

Where are you then? I'm too hot to move a muscle here. I sit at my
computer with ice packs just to keep comfortable.

I guess having made 19 posts is just about enough.

Stoke-on-Trent, and it's currently raining! I admit it didn't rain yesterday
(and it was very hot), but it's rained for 34 days in the last 40.

>> I'm too hot to move a muscle here

Where are you?

I'm a newbie [1]. I asked my first question about canal camping, but I've
been hooked by the witty retorts ever since.

Doesn't my .sig state 'Edgware'?

I am on the North-West fringes of London, England's capital city.

The temperature in this room is 31.7°C. Outside it's 25°C. Partner's
observatory was 37°C earlier today. I've slept without covers for the
past 4 nights.

It's NOT WET here...
