Stupid Punts!

Whenever I read the phrase "due to a mix up in the numbers.." I instinctively reach for my revolver.

Another fake lottery win is doing the rounds of the net.

These scamming scum even try to make out that Bill Gates is involved.

Should you receive one of these, throw it away; it is worthless!
