all you guys with a thai wife beware,the wife just got a message through her messenger what was suposted to come from a friend in the uk.

it goes something like this,YOU have been awarded a sum of money from the MEGA BONUS CASH FUND.thats all you need to now unless you have a wife who cant resist being SCAMED.

My wife got the same message last month and she received the funds into her account last week, the transfer process took a while because there was a mix up with the new SWIFT number at Kasikorn but we got there in the end. We probably won't do anything too exciting with the winnings, perhaps a holiday in Europe, unsure.

I haven't looked but Mkimbo says it's still there, why, do you need a loan, Mkimbo does those too.

You're a good man MB, I always knew that, I'll PM you with the details. 

 

I'm also sorry for your loss, I know how much he meant to you.

thanks mate I am grieving every minute of every day.

the wife just got a message from her friend in the uk.IT WAS DEFINATELY NOT FROM HER.

Don't bother to answer them.....let "theverge" do it for you, they will keep them tied up for months with computer generated ridicules questions, you can even pop back in to view their progress if you wish. Its amazing the stupid questions they will answer if they think it will get them nearer to your account. In the end when they realise they are being played its usually a string of abuse & threats

More seriously on this point: scammers buy email lists which are widely available so I wouldn't waste time trying to track down the source.
