    I wonder what the first lady of the US is doing sending emails from an argentinian address? Seriously, someone must fall for these things even when they're totally and utterly implausible.

    That's the really scary part.  If anybody is so thick that they fall for it.......

    Even if it were a real offer, I'm not sure my bank would be that pleased if I tried to deposit the cheque in my account, and then proceed to use the funds. They'd be more than a little suspicious!! However, just think of the interest you could receive. I think that even with the low rates, I'd still find HMRC asking serious questions. I imagine I'd be in the highest tax bracket!!
    My wife might wonder too, especially if I bought some new tools for the garden.😂

    I've just had a handwritten cheque for 1 pence from my Bank, think I shall frame it.
