I also have been sent Scam e-mails for the so called company TNT see the e-mails that have passed between us.
Dear Mark,
I work in Insurance and there would be no need for me to pay to have this money delivered to me, also why could I not pay a cheque on delivery, TNT would be covered by there Cash in Transit Insurance, and your mailing charges are extremely hign even for registered Mail?
Therefore I take it that this is a Scam, where by you are obtaing money under false pretence and i will be reporting you and TNT to the police for investigation along with the FSA.
Please do respond!
Regards
Mrs J Harber

Well forgive me if I am a little wary because if this is not a hoax, may be you could answer the following questions for me.
1) Why do I have to pay for you to deliver my winning upfront if I won the football pools or National Lottery they would not be asking me to pay anything?
2) Why can it not be COD?
3) Why am I paying Insurance, as stated before surely this delivery would be covered by TNT 's cash in transit insurance policy, (as I stated before I work in the London Insurance Market)
4) why would it be a parcel, and not an envelope with the cheque inside?
If you could supply suitable answers to these questions maybe I would not be so sceptical, as a distant friend of mine received something very similar to this and paid the monies required and never received anything (it was not TNT I may hasten to add)
