I won 200,000 dollars!!!

Or, at least, that’s what an e-mail that i got says. It’s from:
GLOBALCOM SOFTWARE INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY AND PROMOTIONS.
EGASTRAAT 254,
AMSTERDAM,
THE NETHERLANDS.

FROM: THE DESK OF THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
INTERNATIONAL PROMOTION/PRIZE AWARD DEPT,
SCFN: GWK/5333/025648/03UAD.
BATCH: 241/2002/BLL.

It says i was picked from some lottery thing, but i find it hard to believe that it’s genuine since it doesn’t even have my name in the e-mail…

Pooba

Any lottery that you didn’t actually pay money to enter == dodgy

'nuff said

Lol Pooba, your title had me goin.

pooba yeh sure they are telling the truth just give them your bank details and watch what happens :stuck_out_tongue:

You are joking right?

dont react. if you realy have won something they will send another mail. it seems another spam mail.

The internet is a wonderful thing.

It’s an amazing coincidence, but just in the last week I have had 3 different Nigerian gentlemen contact me by email asking if they might transfer between 20 and 50 million dollars each via my bank account. And they are going to give me 10% of the cash!

So, I have resigned from my job, put a deposit on a new car, and I’m looking at purchasing a yacht.

Next week I shall be rich!!!

Read the small print. They are probably asking for a small processing fee. Just bin it.

According to the public transportation website, that street doesn’t even exist :wink:

I don’t think he took it seriously…
Well he ofcourse shouldn’t.

LOL
You all are taking Pooba seriously.
He wasn’t born yesterday and he’s not over 80.

Well you never know… There are some really stupid people on the net…

Of course i didn’t take it seriously…

Actually, it just told me to contact some guy to get my money. I sent him an e-mail (who knows, i might have actually won something!) and i’ll see what happens. There was also some phone number, but it was a netherlandian phone number, and i’m not gonna call long distance for something that probably will cost me like 5000 dollars for the phone call.

Pooba

Netherlandian? :slight_smile:

Replying to such messages is an invitation for spam/scams…now ‘they’ know that email address exist.
