Email Scams 33, 34 & 35

Notice the similiarity between the first two e-mail scams. There must be several people who have jumped on this scam bandwagon. Are there people who are buying into the scam? There must be or this would die out - at least I would think it would. NOtice the nice appeal - he my friend; he's been working on my behalf, he had previous contact with me (strange I don't remember it); he doesn't know my name so he calls me friend no indication as to what the previous contact was about so my memory must be slipping (and I can't admit that!)and so on. Nice try; no cigar!

And then the third one - Microsoft, Mastercard and Barclays bank are all reputable establishments, right. So how could this be a scam?
