Merit Award Nomination
According to the e-mail below I’m going to be at least £800,000 Pounds (UK) better off, and possibly as much as £12 Million may be mine! All I have to do is to respond to the e-mail and nominate myself for the award, simple huh?
Here is a link to a bigger version of the screenshot,for those of you who need it 
Go on own up, how many of you reading this would have replied?
There is an old saying “There’s no such thing as a free lunch“.
There is also other one that seems spot on, in this case “If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is“. In other words, there is usually a catch to any offer that seems to be too good to be true.
What is the catch in this case? Let me tell you.
The catch is that there is no money and Barclays [or HSBC for that matter] have no such scheme, it is just the latest trick being used to bait the hook, to catch ‘wad’ [as the Nigerians that run the scam call them, in other words ‘greedy people’]. Yes, it is a 419 scam, nice try Boys and Girls from Lagos, but no cigar this time!
I just love the way that these big firms ‘penny-pinch’ by giving their staff or representatives free web mail accounts, such as those offered by Yahoo, Google, Microsoft or AOL amongst others. No wonder these banks make such large profits!
Oh yes, and by the way when did HSBC and Barclays become part of the same banking group? Answers on a postcard please
