Anyone else received an email purporting to be from Joy Camels ?

Can I ask a quick favour from you?

Am unavailable on the phone. Let me know if we can communicate via email.



JOY CALMELS

Suspect the email address has been hacked.

Thought it was odd as haven't used them for donkeys years....

The email address has an extra ) added in so definitely fake

I might ask him if he knows any Nigerian princes

Same here - yes, hacked.

Had something similar from a mate the other day, asking to look at a link showing some of the photos he'd taken at the weekend. Very plausible as he's a keen photographer and watches football and cricket regularly. So I clicked on it..... took me straight to a Daily Mirror page! No idea what the purpose of it was, and my mate denied any knowledge of it, but to get me to do it was so easy, it was all so plausible. Could have been serious, but I'll be more careful next time.

I had one as well. I came out of email and emailed sports on last address I had for them, but got no reply, so like most thought it was a scam.
I did think about using some of the money I have tied up in various accounts that are just waiting for my bank details. Smile

I've had one too !!
They must have gotten hold of all Sports Programmes' email addresses. The only thing that would be on holiday would be your cash,gone abroad and not coming back, Nice try though, as they used to say 'keep 'em peeled,'
