I won the lottery

[tunafish]

Oh yes i have won the lottery!!

See this is a new one for me, normally i get this crap in my email but today i got an international letter from spain. Like proper addressed to me etc, with a proper EU stamp and post mark on it. Looks to of fully originated from spain, so it's not like bounced around the UK or anything.

Makes me wonder were they got my address and name from, unless they got it from the government concensus thingy i dunno

But heres the letter i got if you dont believe me, i have scanned it in for you. Anyone else get anything like this?

then the 2nd letter is ofcourse the one were they get you to give away your personal information LOL, i can scan if you want as well.

...oops?

Fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get those same things in my e-mail all the time. LOL

Yeah just make sure that phone number they want you to call ain't one of those trick phone numbers that charge your phone bill $100 a minute or something!

Thats a well known scam.

[tomwarren Veteran]

Wow i'd report that to the police!

Just reading the wording makes it a fake straight away.

In the US, if they use the mail like this then it's a federal crime. You should report it for sure to the cops or at least the postal service.

I hate to quote this but...

In Connecticut, our state lottery (CT Lottery) has an ad out that has an elderly man who says that he won the Australian Lottery, and his wife says - "But you've never been to Australia. Also, have you ever played the Australian lottery?" He says "No." She asks, "So, how did you win?" Then comes up...

"CT Lottery - Don't let yourself get scammed."

In simple terms - YOU WERE SCAMMED.

From "The Office" (US) - Season 2, Episode 19

Toby: Didn't you lose a lot of money on that other investment, the one from that e-mail?

Michael: You know what, Toby? When the son of the deposed King of Nigeria e-mails you directly asking for help, you help. His father ran the freaking country, okay?
