This message has been reported as a scam by other Scamdex users previously.

Really..... I\'ve almost accepted the fact spam will try to get in my mailbox, but this cràp is reaching my phone now too. I don\'t even live in the UK. Wondering about what I\'m more annoyed about; the attempt to mislead or the fact the attempt is poorly executed.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
