Just did a Google search for Dr Hilarry Jones, and they the 1st three responses show it is spam! As you knew of course.
May I add that Dr Hilary Jones is known to the UK population as a TV doctor off GMTV off channel 3. But these people prey on the weak and thoughtless. I do not know why these type of scams are still operated by these people. If you have an active internet connection and email address, you should be aware of these scams So if you do fall into these traps, its only one persons fault [ 05.

Good you show immediate action, Henhead. Only: do you realise there must be about 1 billion people named Jones on this planet, from which thousands are named Hilary, but not only that, also as the spam text says:

There is an English Dr. Hilary Jones who has his name on a computer program that is a medical dictionary that came out a few years ago. It is written to assist with home diagnosis and it also gives the name of medications and their uses and side effects. This appears to be the same Dr. Hilary Jones Henhead speaks about. Would not think the name Dr. Hilary Jones would be that common.

This is a Nigerian 419 (money transfer) Scam. They eventually get you to send them your checking account information, and when you're not looking they will clean it out. That is - if anyone was actually stupid enough to fall for such a load of BS.
