According to recent e-mails I am the winner of 2 British lotteries...one for 100,000 euros and another for 1 million euros. I've also won a sony plasma tv.
And have countless opportunties to have foriegn countries put money in my bank account!!
....And lastly job opportunties to help foriegn businesses get american orders and all of the money can go through my bank account as well!



These e-mails really crack me up, do they really think people seriously believe them? Of course there are probably a few that do, that's why they keep sending them out.

Anyone else getting overrun with these lately as well?

Aw, I am envious. All I get are great deals on drugs. Especially drugs to improve the sexual performance of "my" man. I am single and currently not dating, but I keep these in case I need them in the future....

I`ll never forget how TERRIBLY excited my 12 year old daughter was when she called me to tell me that "WE HAVE WON!" something-or-other that had come in the mail that she`d just walked out to get.(I was having coffee with a neighbor) She was so insistant that we "REALLY HAD WON" and could not understand why I was`nt on a dead run coming home to check it out!

We get them through our fax line at work. Asking us to help collect some guys inheritance. He lives in South Africa and is unable to travel to American to claim it. If we help him with opening a bank account in our name and let him wire the money we will receive 250 thousand dollars. Ya right!!!

Whats so bad is there are plenty of people out there who do believe it. All it is, is a form of money laundering.

Yeah I've won so much I should have more money than Bill Gates. And My performance and equipment should be so enhanced I could take care of all the women in Oregon if not the whole country.

And all people need to remember is "if it seems too good to be true, it likely is too good to be true".
