Well anyone using the said mail provider take note................don't use it myself.............

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Don't use it myself either ... sounds like those scams you get that informs you that you've won the British online lottery and you should provide all your details, including your bank account details  -  then you have to pay a certain amount to 'set free' the winnings etc etc ....  Just last week again I got a notification that I have won about 2 million pounds .....  The other day got a letter from a bloke informing me that a long lost relative of me in Europe has died and I am supposedly nominated as the only inheritant in her deceased estate for her vast riches, including a castle somewhere in Switzerland ....  he he he  -  said they traced me through my bank and I must just supply them with all my details so they can transfer the money and the deeds to my name.  Answered them with two words :  Dumb F***nuts.   Now I wonder why I have never heard from them again.

Oh yes, and the other good one.  Some blokes get hold of your email (they target women) and then they try to befriend you.  Say that they got some money stashed somewhere, but currently they are in a situation where they can't get hold of it and if you would assist them -  they will transfer the millions into your bank account  ~~  mostly they befriend you first  -  tell you hundreds of stories of how they were widowed and in the end they tell you that they have fallen in love with you and want to marry you ... etc etc etc.  So many women fall for these scams and then they end up penniless .....

I know a lady who got a phone call saying she'd won £50,000 and just needed to give her bank details to tranfer the money into and also send on £500 to clear the costs, she told them to take the fee out of her winnings and pop a cheque for the remainder in the post......still waiting for that cheque to arrive
