I usually get junks about winning a huge amount through lottery conducted by reputed Websites. These lotteries never exists on earth. They are just fooling the innocent internet users all over the world.
Ive been getting alot of mail saying someone in the oil bussines died over seas and i was named on the will.For a joke i wrote back and it always ends up with them trying to get money to pay the fees before they can release the money.
I get a lot of these scams for "help me to get my money out the country of Nigeria". I have also seen a program on TV of people who have actually believed these scams and lost thousands investing in them.
Lol I have a couple of email accounts, and only 2 which I keep tabs on spam mail. All the rest have over 100k of spam mails just accumulating hehe.
Hahahaha. That is hilarious. I've had some junk emails also, but not anything to this extent. I personally like the phone calls informing you that you've won a lottery.
I got Email something aboujt microsoft that if I forward that mail i will recieve $1000 for each forwarded mail.
I get tv on pc, viagra, winning price notification from American bank , and yahoo prize money from a gmail id.
I also get many "lottery winnings" in my junk mail. But I also get mails from people who make "$100.000 a month." They say it's a F.REE method. Notice that there's a dot between F and R? It's so ridiculous. No one will fall for that.
I did a survey about this exact topic not to long ago. They wanted me to send all my spam mail to them and gather info on who was sending people what nowdays. I get alot of car advertising stuff. Credit Card applications out the wazzzooo VFW flyers Those stupid packets of coupons every city sends. The junk paper flyers talking about sales just to name a few.
I am facing such sort of news over internet invest and 200% back . All of them scam. Some lottery schemes running on television saying some1 won 1$million dollar lottery etc. But i never met such a person even a single time
