I can't believe my good luck. I was informed by email that I just won $1,000,000,000.00 in the Shell National Lottery. I'm going to retire tomorrow.

lol...nice try. These people must think I'm stupid, I wasn't born yesterday.

I get a couple of these scam emails every week. They are either from a "lottery" or from a dead "relative" that left millions. I can't believe that there are still people who may be naive enough to fall for these.

What's so sad is, there are plenty of people who actually believe it!

tigerontheprowl · Jan 28, 2008

Wow some people are kinda stupid. If you are going to attempt an e-mail scam, at least make it a believable amount.

trouts mom · Jan 28, 2008

It makes me feel bad for elderly people that may fall for it..

I had a scam phone call the other day..

It rang, I picked it up and a recording just said "invalid selection, please press 1 to get a better interest rate"

That was it!! I was like...ummm, really? "CLICK".

Who would fall for that!?

jaffacake · Jan 28, 2008

Those people are so stupid!

I`ve only had one but a quick google of all the names and addresses they mentioned brought up a forum where other people said it was a con, so I sent a rather rude e-mail back!

babyharley · Jan 28, 2008

I get a lot of that stuff in my junk mail folder in my email - it makes me laugh when I read the titles on most of them

keith p · Jan 28, 2008

Everyone gets thats stuff, they also have ones about women in africa, aids victims,homeless people, free laptops, free vacation,etc..

There all fakes, I just mark them as Spam and delete them.

They couldn't care less who they ticked off. They just want live email addresses/suckers. When you respond, you validate your email address for the spammer/scammer. Best to just delete it.

I get this junk all the time!!!

butzie · Jan 28, 2008

swampwitch · Jan 28, 2008

mbjerkness · Jan 28, 2008

for the last few months I have been getting calls from the US saying I have won a trip. please press nine for details. apparently if you press nine they direct long distance calls through your phone number.

zissou'smom · Jan 28, 2008

I got one of my favorites last week:

"Dear Friend,

I got your email address on the internet, I want you to assist me by
getting a nice property for purchase within your location as me and my
family wants to relocate to a safe environment as soon as possible due
to
the civil war in my country. Your urgent response is highly
appreciated.

Johnson Ato"

ORLY? I won the South African lottery the day before; I must have really hit the spam jackpot.

xlaydeextaniax · Jan 29, 2008

yeh, i hate these sort of emails. what's more annoying is, getting them when you don't even sign up to them in the first place!

fwan · Jan 29, 2008

My parents dont sign up to sites, so their email is just used to family. (they arent very computer literate)

Yesterday they also got some lottery winning type of thing through email, my mother wrote to me on msn WE WON THE LOTTERY!!! IT SAID THE COMPUTER!!! WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK WHEN YOU COME HERE I SHOW YOU!

My heart just broke to delude her it was spam

ryn · Jan 29, 2008

I hardly ever get spam even though my address can be found on several sites. A pity really, some of the ones my friends get are extremely funny.

yosemite · Jan 29, 2008

How lucky is that! A Billion dollars - the most I've ever been informed I've won is a million. Don't forget your TCS friends.

emrldsky · Jan 29, 2008

I think the only scam that really upset me was the one I received the week after my grandfather passed away. In it, it claimed a long-lost relative of mine named Robert Cloud from Nigeria had passed away and that they couldn't find anyone else to take the money. Typical scam, right?

It wouldn't have been so bad if my grandfather's name wasn't Robert Cloud!

It was the worst time to try that scam with me, and the name really jolted me.
