I HAVE BEEN RECIEVING THESE "LUCKY LOTTERY" SCAMS FOR THE PAST YEAR. I REPLIED TO THE VERY FIRST ONE I RECIEVED AS I WAS VERY NAIVE BACK THEN AND ALSO NEW TO THE COMPUTER AND THE INTERNET.
I GAVE MY DETAILS AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD E-MAILS CLAIMING TO BE FROM FOREIGN DOCTORS AND SUCHLIKE WITH MILLIONS OF POUNDS/DOLLARS IN BANK ACCOUNTS THAT CANNOT BE ACCESSED AND ASKING ME TO CLAIM THE MONEY ON THEIR BEHALF WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY MEAN ME GIVING MY DETAILS WHICH I AM FAR FROM PREPARED TO DO.
I HAVE ALSO RECIEVED MANY OF THESE LOTTERY SCAMS AND, ON OCCASION, HAVE REPLIED TELLING THEM IF I AM SO LUCKY THEN TO DONATE MY WINNINGS TO CANCER RESEARCH. I GUESS THAT CANCER RESEARCH ARE STILL AWAITING THEIR WINDFALL.
IN THE UK THEIR IS AN ADVERTISEMENT ON TV FOR "EGG CARD" A CREDIT CARD AND THEY SHOW TWO MEN ON THE PHONE TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BELIEVED IN THE SCAMS AND PASSING PHONES BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS FROM "CLAIM ADVISOR" TO "CLAIM ADVISOR". THEY ALSO SHOW ONE OF THE MEN CLAIMING THAT THE LOTTERY IS ENTIRELY LEGITIMATE AND THEN HE STATES, "THERE IS ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE! "
I HOPE THAT SOON THE CLEVER PEOPLE BEHIND THE INTERNET WILL BE ABLE TO FIND THESE UNSCRUPULOUS MORONS WHO PREY ON PEOPLE.
