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.

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.

Pfft, and you think your lucky, some Nigerian king has died and left me his money!

Now to just give them my bank details....

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?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
