Subject: RE: BS: Another SCAM Twist
Dear Reader
You have been PERSONALY selected to receive the grand prize in the Gnome Lottery. Just send me all your money and I will let you know what the prize is...
I must say, joking aside, these things realy do annoy me. I am glad my Dad is not internet aware - he would be one of the first to send the details unfortunately:-( He is not particularly stupid or gullible. He just measures people by his own honest standards and cannot understand why letters sent to him saying he has won a prize should be read at anything other than face value!
Perhaps I am too cynical but I reckon if something seems to good to be true - it probably is.
Many thanks to people like those who made the lotto scam site.
