There's a smug *** in the office I work in who is convinced this is true. He alleges you can over pay a speeding fine and avoid points on your licence. I believe there is some kind of email doing the rounds allegedly from an insider at Swindon Magistrates Court.
If your fine is say £40 and you pay £41, the 'system' has to send you back the difference by cheque but if you do not cash the refund cheque the 'system' thinks the transaction is incomplete and points will not be loaded on your licence until all financial transactions are finalised. Meantime because you have paid the fine, no further action is taken.
Please confirm the above is a load of sump sludge as I strongly believe it is, and I'll gladly tell the office bore he is completely wrong.

Looks like Google is still returning the same results :-)

Does the smug **** also have magnets round his fuel line to polarise the petrol and gain at least 50 bhp and 60% in fuel economy?
He might as well - about as much use.

Never mind, Smug**** will hand his notice in when he receives 4 trillion dollars from Bill Gates for forwarding all those test emails at $10 a time and you won't have to suffer him anymore.

Holy Murphy I must be getting old.....
This did the rounds yonks ago. When I first heard it I visited the local Mags Clerks Office and spoke to Head of Fines, Guess what.......
A LOAD OF BALONEY.

These things never die, they just go to sleep for a couple of months.
I guess I'm as bad keeping the damn thread going.
When I was an email 'postmaster' I just used to kill them on sight.

No. Everyone knows that he should go to a cash machine to withdraw the money and enter his PIN in reverse. That way, the police will be alerted as this is an indication to his bank that he is being attacked. The cash machine will release the money but won't register the transaction as the reverse PIN is an emergency signal. When the police turn up he can just say that "the big boys who were pointing a gun at him ran away" and he can give the cops their money.
Everyone wins ;) :)

Funnily enough douglasb, he sent that one round the office last month!
He also regularly sends annoying virus emails much to the annoyance of our IT department. His emails cause more damage than any virus would.
I've taken great delight in replying to his email copying some of the links posted here today.
I'm feeling rather smug now.

When I was postmaster, I got fed up of this type - forwarding rubbish to all in his addressbook. I found that either disabling their ability to send to multiple addressees and/or public humiliation by 'accidentally' copying to all his contacts an email showing evidence of their idiocy worked quite well.

Have you tried suggesting to him that he uses Google to do a quick check of the validity of such emails?
|
...or, even better, to keep such e-mails to himself?
Presumably management might/could consider it a breach of employment rules?
|
Computer/IT savvy colleague of mine was having heavy grief with his bank. He managed to find a way of sending them faxes all night so as to run their machine out of paper! A result, of sorts
