A lottery that I didn't sign up for, I can't tell anybody about, and that was available to everyone in the world?  Man It must be my lucky day!

[Izret101]

What the hell i'd play along.

[den68]

wow so Sauza's a millionaire. when the check arrives he can buy us all a beer. well maybe just me since most of the rest of you are underage.

[Lord Nepenthean]

Oh I get a different one of these every single day.  I think the most I have been offered is $126,000,000.00.  The reason I was getting $126 million?  Somebody died that shared my last name (Collins) and they had no relatives to give it to, so it was decided I should have it.

[Arrrhalomynn]

I'm not underage, I'm more intersted in other things though. I could use a car, and a house.

And I've had one of these before as well.

[Izret101]

wow so Sauza's a millionaire. when the check arrives he can buy us all a beer. well maybe just me since most of the rest of you are underage.

For each buck you put to beer money give me one to to vg stuff. Or you could get me rootbeer. God do i love that stuff. But videogames would be better. |D

[den68]

wait till he's good and drunk, then ask for money.

[Izret101]

wait till he's good and drunk, then ask for money.

So Sauza what do you drink? I am sure we have a keg or few 30 packs of it just lying around my house.

But anyways.
I never get spam. I never have gotten spam. The only things i get are what i sign up for.
Ok well 1 of  yahoo accounts gets spam but thats because i use it to sign up for everything under the sun. I also let some friends use it.

[danvx6]

I used to get emails about money in the "B" name all the time.  Who the hell has the last name "B"? It was a variety of things too, not just money/lottery. I think I got a house at one point.

[Izret101]

Offers like those can be quite dubious. I would beware their presence in your inbox.

[Arrrhalomynn]

OH REALLY!?!?!?!

[Izret101]

BTW my last post was on Dictionary Day duh Arrr you didnt have the holiday spirit.

I just got this in my mail. I don't get nearly as much as Sausa though.

I get stupid emails like that all the time. Do these thing really work?

[Lord Nepenthean]

I got an e-mail today for (I think) Viagra.  The text of the e-mail is so unintelligible that I had a hard time figuring out what they were trying to sell me.  My favorite part, though, was the subject of the e-mail, which states: "It is known, that dogs eat horses!"  I was hoping for pictures.

P.S.  The comma in that quote is not my doing.  That's what makes it a quote.

[Izret101]

Hahaha this is a good one. I came up as next of kin to some guy who died on a plane crash in south africa. Atleast thats what i gathered from skimming.

Hello,


I am Mr. Smith Bowani, an auditor of a reputable bank in Johannesburg, Gauteng
Province in the Republic of South Africa. I have an urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you.

We had a foreign client named Mr. Wooin Shim, who deposited a huge sum of money
(18.6 Million United States Dollars), with our bank. Eventually, this client
died in a plane crash and since his death we have not had anybody come up for
the claims as the next of kin.

You may want to take a look at other passengers, who were on the same plane;
here is a site for your
perusal.http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/...8/06/guam.passenger.list/

A situation I have monitored closely with my position in the bank. Now having
monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before his death, and hence
nobody has showed up as the next of kin for the past years. I now solicit for
your assistance to present you as the next of kin as every other arrangement/
processes will be monitored by me and my partners involved. However I got your
contact from a trade consultant here in South Africa, though I did not disclose
the purpose of my seeking for a foreign business partner to him. Although we
will still have to sign some agreement before the final transfer of the fund
into any of your designated bank account.

I have involved a very senior official in the operational department, and we
have agreed that after the transfer of the money into your account, you shall be
entitled to 20% of the total sum, my colleagues and I will have 75% while 5%
will be used to reimburse any expenses incurred. All necessary precautions have
been taken to ensure a risk free situation on the side of both parties. Please
note that this deal can only take place on the following conditions;

1. Absolute confidentiality and sincerity will be required and guaranteed,
considering our positions in the bank.

2. Assurance that our own share will be released to us in good faith when this
money finally gets into your account.

Please treat with utmost confidentiality. Contact me as quickly as possible
through my e-mail.

Expecting your urgent response,

Best Regards,

MR. SMITH BOWANI
