Stupid Punts!

Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Tuesday, March 23, 2004

Well I am a lucky fellow! I seem to have won yet another lottery.

This time it is run by some Italians, and is called "Millenium"; note to the organisers, there are two "n's" in "Millennium".

I seem to have won $500K and $250K, and I didn't even know that I had entered!

However, as with the other lottery scam I received on 3 March, there seems to have been "a mix up with the winning tickets".

This means that I will have to prove my identity, no doubt this involves me having to hand over my bank details.

Don't fall for this one ladies and gentlemen, it is a con.
