I have half a mind to contact these guys just to see how far they would take it. Maybe I’ll set up a fake bank account and screw them!! That would be fantastic! Any ideas??

In the mean time I plan to report this e-mail to Gmail abuse and as many as these addresses that I feel up to.

  1. I am always tempted to reply to these things just to mess with them, but I never do…so you should do it and tell me how it goes.

  2. I also received their e-mail, I continued to communicate with them. They get my Bank Account Information now they are contacting me by phone several time to make contact with some ” Internal Revenue Service ” for obtaing a tax clearence certificate. After that I don’t contact with them, sure they are cheaters.

  3. How could you win – you never bought a ticket!
    (As they say in Russia: “You get free cheese only in a rat’s trap”.)
    Be warned, they promise millions but you could lose everything.
