Soooooo true! And I keep getting more. I do enter sweepstakes. How am I ever to know if I have really won anything? Is there truly a way to know? Besides the dead "giveaway" of asking us to put out money to get money, how does one verify a valid sweepstakes?
You bunch of idiots, I got my million( US Dollars) only last week. The lawyer fees were a little steep but my CPA (Morris Fart) thinks that after taxes I should just be able to afford that 50" plasa HD set I've been dreaming of. Just kidding If it sounds too good to be true then it is NOT true!!!!!!!!!!!!PT Barnum always said: There's a sucker born everyminute! And boy was he right.
Garmon not an idiot. Valid question. How would I know if I actually won a lottery. There are valid lotteries you know. How would one tell?
bsnights Did you read my post completely? The part at the end where it says "JUST KIDDING" It means I'm NOT calling anyone an idiot. Newbs Shesh! Very Cautiously! Edit: I appologize to the Newbs; it should have been: ADOLESCENTS shesh!
I recieved the same email just two weeks ago, didn't think it was legit! Thats just too good to be true. Yea I would have loved to win 1 Million US dollars but that would never happen. I am new to the site hope to chat with a few of you later.
I received the following email last Friday - Jan 26, 2007. I had hoped that it was true, but I was skeptical, so I contacted the local news statiion here to see if it was a scam or not. They weren't able to tell me, but they directed me to some internet sources that might be able to help, which lead me to this website. I'm glad to know that I didn't provided them with any information that could be damaging.

It's absolutely NOT my intention to insult the original poster or anyone else here, but at least where I live (Spain) the newspapers have been full of stories about this type of scam for months, explaining the different types, how they work and their origin (where known). I'm of an age where newspapers were - and, as old habits die hard, still are - an essential part of daily life, ink-stained fingers and all. I know that if I relied on my pc for news I'd miss an awful lot of stuff. My point? Not sure really, except my surprise that you all seemed so surprised by this junk - to the the extent that the original poster even wondered if he should grant it some credibility. Long live old people with their old habits.
The only reason I had to give this any credibility in the first place was because the previous month I had a craze where I entered every free competition I could and could just remember something like this, I wasn't ever actually going to hire a Italian lawyer to claim the money for me.
You still shouldn't trust any emails, chances are they just want to steal your identity/money/babies. Just let ignore it; if you were to really win money tehy would call you or something. A simple email isn't enough to really help show that you've won some cash, especially since the internet is full of fraud and virii and porn.
Thanks Garmoon Any other interesting topics happening in Afterdawn? I like the Key word find, but that would be really a "hit-or-miss". Suggestions? Anyone?
To whom it may apply - If it sounds too good to be true it is ! I get strange scam mail all the time - Those Nigerian- Bank scam letters , Letters telling me I've One the UK Lottery ( I never entered!) letters from people with strange ,randomly computer generated names or really hard-word type foriegn names ( I'm in the USA) & It's all crap for lack of a better word ! What's that saying again? " Fool me once shame on you ! fool me twice !Shame on me ! " The goal here is not to get taken - Use your brain ! & avoid the Noid of Spam & SCAM ! Good luck Friends ! SPAM,SPAM,SPAM,Baked beans,SPAM,SPAM,SPAM,SPAM,-Baked beans are off ! , can I have Spam instead of the baked beans then ! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( Monty Python Lives !!!!!)
Now that Bigtoxy69 has sung the Spam Song I can introduce the Lumberjack Song. And here's my question: I never visit str8 pron sites (other fish in other seas) so how come the only spam I ever get is for str8 pron? What on earth do they hope to achieve ..... CONVERT me? "I cut down trees, I wear high heels, etc.")
one thing you got to think about is how could you win a contest if you never did enter it, there plenty of scamms out there, wait till you get one in the mail, not e-mail i have gotten two letters so far and my wife got one the other day, the things that you have to watch about is some of theese scamm's have phone numbers that go along with them, one thing you don't want to do is don't ever call any of the phone numbers, you will be charged $3000,00 for one phone call, and guess what the phone company can't help you because you dialled the number your self, so allways do a google search of the company that sent you the e-mail; or a letter, good luck
