They really think I will believe this is legit? FAIL in *so*many ways:
- Why send it to students and staff at a university in South Africa?
- It was sent by someone at said university (look at the last 2 lines)
- Nokia is a Swedish company. Why give a reward in UK money?
- For that matter, the South African currency is called "rand," not "Great Britain Pounds."
- And wouldn't it be better to at least give a (fake) Nokia-company email address instead of Hotmail?
