Stupid Punts!

It's lottery time again folks!

This time some other crappy con artist is trying to convince me that I have won a mere 500K Euros, on something called Global Lottery International.

As usual there has been "a mix up with the numbers".

Doubtless, if I were stupid enough to respond to this, I would be asked for an upfront "processing fee".

Don't fall for it, it is a con!
