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

Sunday, October 10, 2004

Hooray!, or as the ill written email I received today says, Hurray!..I have won $1M.

No I haven't, it is just another scam from a non existent lottery company; the Total Links Lottery company.

Same old shit, same person; just a different company.

One slight change to the normal format, they actually admit that they will charge $695 "processing" fee. This "fee" is not normally mentioned until you get in contact with them.

Needless to say, once you have paid your fee you will never hear from them again.

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