Ooh lucky you! Best supply your bank details quickly 
There was a great thread on here once - someone had responded to one of these scams and scammed the scammer. Anyone remember the link?

Re: I'm rich !!!!!
theres a group called 187 (i think) they spend there spare time wasting scammers time. they strung this nigerian guy along saying they were going to pay up $xxxxx and told him to go to the airport and wait for them in arrivals but he must clutch a black backpack to his chest so they can identify him!security then got him thinking he was a bomber!

Re: I'm rich !!!!!
I'm a Trillionaire, several times over, seriously...
This site is pretty good:

My Mrs was lagging behind me at the Louvre and got accosted by a gypsy woman doing the gold ring scam. I said, for God's sake woman, you're a scouser and your going to fall for the oldest trick in the book. I told her to just ignore any gyppo that tried to talk to her.

Re: I'm rich !!!!!
I had one of these emails once.
I gave them my details, received $50,000 and then forwarded $40,000 keeping $10k for myself.
The bank told me that the money I received was fraudulent, and I was then in $30,000 overdraft.
This one might be fine though.
