I always hear about this, but I've never received one until a few days ago, so I thought I would name and shame it here. I think it would probably have a bigger effect here than actual forwarding it to Telkom.
Oh and, what kind of idiots actually fall for this!?

I love the way in the first paragraph it is if you don't answer in 24 hours the account will be suspended but n the next paragraph is failure to answer back in 1 weeks (:D love the spelling as well) will result in losing the account permanently.
 
Freaking scammers. At least make it challenging for me for crying out loud. Use proper english, use the proper technical terminology, stop abusing the !!! and get a life.
