Hahah, I call them using Skype but one time I called one of them and when they asked me for my name and address and phone number to send the check, I gave them info to a FBI Office.

I told them that i was currently operating a frigate in Somalian waters sinking pirates, and that i had recently spoken to the to the British ambassador at a lunchon and he was unaware of any monies coming my way. lol
Scary thing is some people fall for this sort of thing, it would at least make some sense if they had commited fraud against me, but i keep a very close eye on all my banking and I have not even been scammed in the first place. So to reward me for $2million is a bit daft, They should at least be realistic and offer a few £k or use the $2million to buy spellchecker.
