You should reply and where it says company/individual description: put "Interpol international Fraud investigation"

Re: I've won the lottery!

Re: I've won the lottery!


With all that info they might have someway of searching for your social security number. I work in finance and we are a member of an online database company called Merlin. With the info above, we can find out your social security number and date of birth. Once they have that, they can apply for credit in your name... identity theft.

Re: I've won the lottery!


righto, and I'm obviously showing how naive I am,but if it is an obvious scam can't the email address given above be traced back to the owners??

Don't worry about replying, as I guess that can't be done else this sort of thing would stop.

Funny isn't it, the entire travelling population of the world have to submit to body searches at airports nowadays etc etc, yet no-one cares that email addresses can be gotten without documentation as above. White collar crime-who cares???

Re: I've won the lottery!


I believe that they make their money with the processing 'fees'. You'd be amaze at how much it costs to process paperwork.

Re: I've won the lottery!


I get bossom enlargers and secrets to pleasuring her longer. Oh yeah, almost forgot about all the millions of dollars I'm helping to get out of Africa. Looking forward to my cut so I can upgrade my system.

Re: I've won the lottery!


Bob, in my book you are on a sure fire bet to be able to upgrade your system if you master the art of pleasuring her longer, so get to work!!

Re: I've won the lottery!



After being married for 31 years, I think the whole point of my wife's desire to see me interested in room treatments and all other things home theater, is so I lose interest in other things ...

Can I have some of that good luck ????

All I get is emails telling me that my relatives passed away and left millions in the bank ... and they need my help to collect that money

I also been asked to bring millions from Africa, to help the King to locate properties, to invest the money, etc.....

Is hard to fight the white collar crime .... but I think is harder if we don't complaint to the right people

Anyways, let's keep enjoying our HT's
