Anyone who falls for these schemes who's smart enough to use a computer is a total fool. There is no such thing as a multimillion (dollar, euro, whatever) Lottery where you don't even have to enter and then you win. Of course the bandits are smart enough to not ask you YET for your bank account or whatever but they WILL (I PROMISE!) ask you to send a check to cover some weird Stonesylvanian Excise tax or some obscure fee.. they "win" $3K or so of your real money and you win $0 of their imaginary money! Also be *VERY* careful if you ever got a check in the mail of unexpected Lottery winnings especially if they ask for any kind of money back.. those checks are fake! If you were ever still in doubt search the web using keywords from the letter. And the text in the letter you show looks really familiar as I and people I know have gotten almost exactly the same letter, the only difference maybe the name of the "Lottery" and the imaginary amount "won". ONLY TRUST ESTABLISHED LOTTERIES THAT YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT A TICKET FOR!
PS- There is a river crossing in a major metropolitan area on sale for 500,000 euros. Interested?
Your post is a very good reason why you should read my prior posts. Do you read the last page of a book and make a DUMB A$$ comment about it's contents?
Let me write this in really big letters in case people miss it.....or don't want to read the posts before they give me something that was written in the first few pages.
I"LL SAY IT ONLY ONE MORE TIME..........READ VERY VERY CAREFULLY!!!!
CLOSER>>>>CLOSER...
I HAVEN'T SPENT ANY MONEY, GIVEN OUT ANY PERSONAL INFO AND DON'T INTEND ON DOING IT IN THE NEAR FUTURE< THE MIDDLE FUTURE, AND FINALLY NEVER!
GOT IT?????
I sure hope so......
I'm really tired of repeating myself over and over and over again. If you want to comment,and not sound like a knuckle head, read from the get go...If not....just go ahead and tell me not to send any money and so on. Feel free to take another ten pages to accomplish it...I'm not going to repeat myself. I'm actually done with this..

1+1=10?
Who did you say was a moron? Moron!
That's for calling people names, A$$wipe.
First, let's get one thing straight mister tough guy. The "addition" problem was a joke and there is a real answer that your little mind couldn't posssibly absorb.
Secondly, I haven't done a single thing yet involving monies spent on this thing, and never intend to. But of course, you don't read the prior posts, you just conveniently pick the ones to comment on. I just brought up the bank thing, only because someone mentioned something along the same lines.
I was actually gonna stop posting anymore about this, because it was getting out of hand, but your big mouth prompted me.
Have a nice day!
Since you're worried that some people haven't read previous posts, perhaps you should review them yourself. It has been repeatedly pointed out that scams like the one you say you intend to respond to have taken money from people. You said that Bank of America insures customers against fraud and I simply responded that more morons doing stupid things because they'll be bailed out is just what we need. I didn't call you a moron, but if you thought it was directed specifically at you, maybe you're the one who figures the shoe fits. You keep saying you won't give your information to anyone, but when you commented on the fraud protection you chose to include the phrase "fortunately for me". If there's no risk in it, why is the fraud protection relevant to this discussion?
Since I'm not assuming you're a moron, at least for now, I'll give you another chance. That there may be other correct answers doesn't mean there's any room for argument over the answer I chose.
1+1=10 1+1+1=11 10+10=100 10*10=100
All of those are true, whether you understand them or not. If you're looking for a specific answer it's up to you to ask the proper question.

Listen pacattack05, I wasn't trying to get on you in a negative way. My bad if my delivery was a bit brash. But what I am trying to tell you is they can use your personal information like your name, birthday, and address to "get the ball rolling" on finding out your other personal info.
What I am trying to say is don't give them ANY info. These scam artists are VERY resourceful and WILL find out your other info. You don't need to give them your Bank Account information. With your name, b-day and address, they can find out the rest through a backtrace. Its called "Social Engineering." They would get on the phone with some unsuspecting teller that would spill all the beans and acidentally give away ALL your personal info.
Trust me, just do a google search on Social Engineering.
Fortunately for me, Bank of America insures their customers, with fraud protection.
Ain't Scared!...LOL
Today they finally asked for 762 pounds for court fees.
I only sent them 761, so let's see....
I'm crossing my fingers...
Einstein said that 1+1 does not equal 2. The numbers 1+1=2, because numbers are pure in general, but for the most part when people refer to numbers, they are applying those numbers to objects. And since no two objects are exactly alike, atom for atom, then the equation will always be off by a hairline degree.
For example: 1 apple plus 1 apple will not equal 2 apples, unless by some miracle they are equal in mass, atom for atom, therefore one apple is slightly bigger than the other. So the answer would be something like 1 apple plus 1 apple equals, 1 apple and 99.999999 percent of an apple,
I know that it's just a technicality, and semantics, but he is correct.

"not sound like a knuckle head"
That is coming from the horse's mouth. I suppose when you make an idiotic topic and begin sounding like one, like attracts like. Instead of being appreciative of all the information provided, you insult those who gave it and start sounding like even more of an idiot, or some little kid with all your jumbo fonts.
Personally I feel you deserve to be taken and learn a lesson.

I only insult people who insult me first, or is that too much information for you to understand in a short period of time?
Read the next sentence very very slowly, so it it'll have time to absorb. The "Knucke Head" comment was directed to people who didn't read the prior posts, and then to start ranting and raving about how it's so stupid and dumb to send money, and on and on and on. It wasn't directed to all respondents.
All they had to do is to read from the beginning so they would know what the CONTEXT of the progression was.
Get your facts straight and then come here and spew crap you can't defend. Show me one person I insulted from this post that gave me advice like a human being.
Personally I think you should go play in a highway.
P.S. I've been taken many times in my life, by trusting people who were supposedly close "friends". You don't know me. How can you possibly know what I deserve or don't deserve? Do you think I just got here off the boat or something?
For such an idiotic topic, it sure got your goat...

Well with your obvious inability to be able to ascertain what is common sense to most, I have to question whether or not you just "got here." I personally gave you all the proof you need, and even posted the same EXACT email taken from a blog dated March 3rd, yet you still seem skeptical of the obvious truth. I guess you're just pissed that you been had, even if it was for awhile.

I had a good idea it was a rip-off. The only thing I'm pissed off is about people who call me names, and when I do the same back to them, they scratch their heads wondering why I'm pissed.

Anyone who is familiar with pacattack's posts and humor will have known to take this thread with a grain of salt. He is one of the most funniest and enjoyable posters on here. He may have been curious about this latest email but he's no dummy. He had me thinking twice myself about this latest "venture" but then I had to shake my head and say,"oh,that's just pac being pac!" Love ya,packy!

Thanx Lottolaughs, and your too kind. I really wasn't trying to pull people's chains. I never had an email of the exact one I received, yes the nigerian ones, but not that one. I wanted to see how long it took before they asked, and how much. I stated that many times in the beginning, but a couple of persons took it way too seriously as if I was somehow affecting their lives, and calling me names....LOL
The last email I got asked for 762 pounds and I told them what they could do with it...LOL... Haven't heard from them since.
No harm done...it's over...no one got burned...all is good, but some people thought I lost my mind. If they only read from the beginning they would know the context.
