Feel free to send money to Nigeria so that they can process a jackpot that you won without ever playing. Then call the police to help you. Then contact the media so that we can read about poor you. Go ahead. Sir.

I would love to get called for one of these scams, recently I had the old Microsoft Tech Department or whatever they choose to call themselves scam call a couple times and went along with it for a good 30 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore, the Indian guy on the other end wasn't happy.
