Well...what goes up...must come down.
I've just got that email as well!
Thought exactly the same thing.

I would be quite leery about ordering any medicine from the internet. There was a bit on the news, either this morning or yesterday about the online tamiflu not being kosher.
These companies aren't regulated by any government and it could be bat guana for all the general public know.

i got one from a mister mollette edwards from nigeria telling me i had won the canadian lottery...????.... i replied and expressed my utter surprise and joy that i had won a lottery that i had not in fact entered.....mister edwards replied and told me it was a mistake and it was somebody else with an almost identical email address, i replied that i was in a terrible state as i had already booked a weekend in butlins at bognor on the strength of it, mister edwards said it may be possible to 'arrange' for me to be the winner as the true winner has not come forward, i was ecstatic and asked him to tell me more, he said all i needed to do was to send him five thousand pounds to grease a few palms and pay off a few officials and the cheque for 5 million dollars will be in the post...

Oh God, no, I wouldn't! The name just amused me. I'm more concerned with the fact that the spam was sent to me via a mailing list from a friend who has a very successful international software company! He's in for a slapped wrist!

I get some like that all the time, usually asking me for my bank details so they can deposit a large sum of money into my account directly.
I just tell them to send me a cheque and I will deposit it myself and save them the bother. No reply.
