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

I have won the Lottery International again!

This time $2.5M could be mine, not bad considering that I have never entered it.

Unfortunately it is a scam; all they will do, if I were to be stupid enough to respond, would be to charge me some money to "process" my award. Needless to say I would never receive my award, as it does not exist.

Don't fall for this scam.
