Thanks to a blog reader for this little gem. The scammers give me three options for getting my winnings.
1) Go to their "offices" in person - as in get kidnapped or worse
2) They'll post me a cheque - if I pay a postage fee of £450. There's inflation for you - last time l looked the cost of a first class stamp was around 36p.
3) Set up a new bank account at a cost of £2,500.
