WHAT IS ?ANYONE RECEIVES ?

 

I get 100s of those plus many others everyday..

Did you know that they have a weekly Random email lottery at Microsoft/Apple/Intel/IBM etc etc..

BTW be glad that you didnt win 100 Grands

 

If you didn't ask for it/signed up for it, of course it's a scam...

 

I receive a lot of spam also, they use a send mass mailer program, and the sender e-mail is fake.

I also received spams like


When replyed to those e-mails, they not even exists.



I don't know how to block all of them..

 

If you directly copied and pasted that then it DEFINITELY is a scam for two reasons: firstly, I'm in the UK and I've never heard of this organisation and secondly, they have spelled the word 'eighty' incorrectly - no bona fide lottery business would do that.

 

I thought those where a scam also, but I give them my bank info and social security number and won 2 million dollars!

 

If I add up all the amounts, for which I have been declared winner, my net worth would exceed that of Bill Gates.

 

Well congratulations bebe...

 

Thanks Bender =))))))))))))))))

 

hehe... 5ks spam everyday in my gmail's spam box.. and I recieved a same sorta email in my inbox.. few days ago.. don't know how it has been leaked to inbox..

 

I am from India and would like to inform you that I have also received similar emails in the past.They also claimed in the second email that I must not delay any further but contact the agent who is in UK etc etc.

 

I've gotten so many of these "Congratulations you've won the lottery!" emails that I must be a billionaire by now.

 

fuck this!
i'm getting 3-5 of them every day

 

I you didn't join anything in the first place then it's a scam. I get these types of email everyday.

 

yes i also get lot's of these types of emails, and these days those emails are also hitting my inbox! usually they used to go to the spam/junk box,

just delete those and forget it, that's the only option

 

Well said mate.

 

Just ignore them. Its amazing that people still believe that we will fall these sloppy traps!

 

Damn, that's one hell of a lucky streak

 

The people that wrote this has a big lol while writting it
