Stupid Punts!

Stupid Punts!

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

Friday, March 25, 2005

I have just won $1.9M on the Japan E Mail Lotto, if this email is to be believed.

Needless to say I have not really won anything at all.

This is yet another scam, designed to sucker the innocent and naive out of their money.

The only people who "win" on these are the scam merchants who send them.

Don't be a fool, avoid this like the plague!

  3. It is a con, it is as simple as that.

    Do not be stupid and get in touch with these people.

    Report it to your bank and to the police.
