            Seems I win the google one at least 2 times a week and they seem to not know my name even though my email account is a google account! :laugh: I also have one won the UK lottery and also had 5 or so offers to facilitate transfers of a few 100 thousand $UK this week. Its very surprising to me that after many years of this that anyone still falls for this scam.

                  I wish I was an investigative journalist. I'd love to follow it as far as it would go. I bet if you actually replied there's not even anyone on the other end to get it. I think these are American teenagers with nothing to do that are sending these things around (or UK teens). I'd really love to bite one and see just how far I could take it... with a SEAL team watching my back that is...

                        I know of some one who fell for a different variation of this. I warned her but she believed that the online lottery she paid for was legitimate because they sometimes paid her a small return. When she won the big prize however she ended up paying thousands instead of receiving millions.

                                It does beg the question as to why they continue to send to the same addresses over and over again. It they didn't catch you the first time it's doubtful you became dumber before the next one arrived.

                                  My only explanation is for them it is much less work to send to email to all address in a list then to trim the list..

                                    Once they use a list it should be retired. If they didn't hook anyone from it the first time it shouldn't hook anyone on subsequent attempts. I can see the same address appearing on more than one list but I've seen instances within days of each other where the same set of addresses coming into our site are used over and over again.

                                      I am sure there is an email for that too.

                                      I've got a few thousand of them I don't need. Should I forward them to him?

                                        I wish I was punished in that way more often.

                                          I wish I was an investigative journalist. I'd love to follow it as far as it would go. I bet if you actually replied there's not even anyone on the other end to get it. I think these are American teenagers with nothing to do that are sending these things around (or UK teens). I'd really love to bite one and see just how far I could take it... with a SEAL team watching my back that is...
