The best one I got recently was "This is the Nigeria Secret Service. We've 
caught a bunch of scammers and taken away the money they stole. We want to 
return to you your money.  Send us your bank details and $250 in filing fees 
and we'll transfer the money to you."

LOL

I thought it couldn't hurt to offer, after all, you MIGHT just have taken 
me up on it.  In which case, I'd happily oblige in finding the best 
laptop for your purposes by doing a lot of very thorough testing and 
research. :-)

transfer some cash into your account if you give me your details. ;-)

My laptop is only just over a year old but it has some quirks that have 
been getting more annoying. As it is the only machine I use for
