Oh Yeah!!! Another US$2 million won!!

the uk owns/ed most of africa, maybe when they got the internet it was set up under uk rules.

 

I wonder if they'd accept a collect call?

 

can you collect call to international numbers?

 

I'm not sure. I can't try at the moment, but I bet they'd accept it if you said "it's from a winner wanting to make a deposit"! Someone give it a try!

 

how do I make a collect call?

 

Hmmm, if I remember right you'd dial 0 and then the number. Otherwise, an operator can connect. I believe you can still do it internationally. It's been so long since I've called collect (20 years or so).

 

Do they still have such a feature?

Of course you could dial 1800Collect... I think I saw that on a commercial once.

 

I remember that, but is it still active?

 

The internet is your friend...

crikey that's a minimum of $6 for a call.

i'm impressed you used the internet to find information, I thought it was just for porn.

 

Oh man. They just told me they don't deal in goats. Now what am I going to do???

 

Yeah, it's an ankle grabber..

You'd be surprised... I once used the net to order Dominos Pizza... After all, need something to eat while watching porn..

 

I like your term. I'm gonna start using it.

Better make it finger food, gotta have a hand free.

 

I can confirm that someone I know got such e-mail and he was really about to send them 1300$ (attorney fee) to get his lottery money

Thanks god he came to me before he sends that money, but he wasn't coming to ask me - he just wanted a ride to the bank lol

 

why didn't you tell him you would make the deposit for him?

 

Would you believe my brother-in-law and his wife got stung $2000 by these scammers??

Col

 

did you make fun of them?

 

No. Shortly after. They broke up their marriage. It was not good.

 

nice story debbie downer.
