    Well if you're not going to take him up on it send him my way. I could do with a new phono stage and this might be my lucky ticket.

    I wouldn't go ahead with it as I would probably ruin the deal by making some kind of faux pas.

    I haven't got my head around this idea of fluid-gender and wouldn't know when to refer her as Ms Ann Lauwers or when to refer to him as Mr L Jun.

    Could ruin scupper the whole deal...

    I get 20 - 30 similar every day. Often I have Ban Ke Moon with a spare $64,000,00 he wants to put my way or Princess Zenab Warlord 1 (2,3,4,5, etc.) with an offer I can't refuse.

    Does anyone ever click on these ?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    YUP we all get em, the worst i've seen are the ones aimed at businesses, what they do is hack business email accounts and send out purchase orders, the only thing that tips you to it being phoney is the delivery addresses or when they ask to change delivery addresses at the last minute, the company i work for do a load of AV work for universities and the NHS we must have had about 10 or 15 phoney PO's this year from public sector, which are easy to spot, it's the ones from the corporate world that are harder we almost got stung for £20k or large format displays, distribution amps and control equipment, we had it all in the warehouse ready to go, then the delivery address changed which made us think, then we decided to give this companies HQ a call and it became clear they had been hacked.
