Hi, everyone,

Many of you will be familiar with the 'Nigerian' trick: people, mainly in W. Africa, who send hard-luck stories involving large amounts of cash to unsuspecting recipients through e-mailed spam.

I'm looking at the types of e-mail addresses these items are sent to and am interested in hearing from anyone with a commercially-supplied e-mail address (e.g. from AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) who has received such spam.

In order to avoid overloading the Free Pint server, it might be best if you replied directly to my address: ralph@city.ac.uk.

Many thanks.

Ralph
