Subject: RE: BS: All the Scams Aren't in Nigeria
I received a scratchcard through my letter box saying that I would definitely win a large money prize (can't remember the exact number of thousands) if the correct answer to the question on the card was revealed by scratching off the silver panel.
The question was "What is the capital of Turkey?"
The answer under the scratch pad was "Istanbul".
I wonder how many people fell for that one and rang the premium rate number - and no con involved!
