Stupid Punts!

Stupid Punts!

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

Wednesday, January 05, 2005

The improbably named Mrs Comfort Jose informs me that I have won 1 million Euros, in the Euro Million Lottery International.

However, due to a mix up in the numbers etc etc..

It is a con, no genuine lottery would mix up the numbers; more importantly, how can I have won something that I didn't enter?

Don't be stupid, don't fall for this con.
