Funny how it's a UK contest with emails in Hong Kong and in Austrailia! Didn't the UK hand Hong Kong back to the Chinese some 10+ years ago? I know GB colonized Australia, but aren't they gone from there as well?

Re: Scam!

at least those are more entertaining than those emails coming out of Africa, talking about some distant relative of mine dying and leaving me a large sum of money, since I am his only surviving relative.

Re: Scam!

I have won this lottery twice this year. Maybe we could plan our trip together to pick up our winnings. I can't go right away though. I am waiting for this 26 year old girl from Nigeria to get here with my millions and marry me.

Re: Scam!

I was apparently eligible for some tax thing out of the blue.
That's the only one I bothered to open once. I delete that crap every time I get it.

Re: Scam!

It is quite funny how some people actually think they won the lottery.. but fail to realize that they never entered.

Send us money so we can send you a huge lump sum.. hummm.. if they really were going to give you money. couldn't they take their chunk out of the winnings. eh.

Re: Scam!

I hate to receive these scams. They're a pain in the ass. Like most of you, I can't figure out why people surrender cash/information so easily to others. Too bad I'm an honest guy!
