    Sender: Captwilliams@usarmy
    I'm captain williams. I will be transfer to your location in three weeks/ please sen email to captwilliams@ so and so for urgent discussion

    Another claiming I have won a million dollars from Blackberry and to contact with a ph number.

    Dem Nigerians all use Blackberries...

    But it's basically the same as the email scams as Blackberries have their own mailing thingy.

    If I wanted to compete with phones or talk about Blackberrys sales I would have started a thread for that. Get back in your cage.

    Why didn't you start this thread in the mobiles and pda forum? Get back in your cage.

    Thought as much.

    Read the forum charter before you start anymore threads.
