Stupid Punts!

The Royal Spanish Sweepstake Lottery wrote to me today, telling me that I have won 1 Million Euros in their lottery.

The only problem with this is, that there is no such organisation; also I didn't enter any lottery.

They advise me to keep details of my claim confidential, to avoid "abuse of this program by some unscrupulous elements".

Quite!

Don't be fooled, this is a scam.
