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

Another lottery scam thrusts itself into my mailbox today.

This time the scammer claims to be with the Zeeman Lottery, and that I have won 500K Euros.

It follows the usual line that "there has been a mix up with the numbers", how incompetent these people are!

Don't be stupid, and fall for this, it is a scam; they will attempt to charge you a "processing fee", then you will never hear from them again let alone see your "winnings".
