You won a knuckle sandwich.


That was so painful to read it's not worth 1,000,000 dollars.

You won $1-$10,000. That pretty much tells me that you did NOT win. If you had, they would be able to tell you exactally how much you won and give you more detail then they did the other 1,200,000 people they sent the email out to. Sorry man, hope you didn't quit your job already...

I remember when I was in Middle School my dad got a letter saying he is a certified winner of one million dollars. Yeah right. It's all a fucking gimmick.

So they're asking for you to send an entrance form, with an entrance fee. Whatever they pay back (if they pay back at all) is probably less than the entrance fee. So they send this out to thousands of people, and profit.

It's an old confidence scam.. Lots of older people get nailed by this.

On the entrance form, they have you put your account and routing number on it.. so they can "deposit your winnings". They may actually do this with a minimal amount..

Then, they strike.

All the do, since you handed them the numbers, is go back to your account, forge a check or transfer..

and suck you dry.

It's a trap. Stay away.

uhh, they hve your e-mail account but not your home address??:rolleyes:
With such great news,just tell them to mail this correspondence to you on oficial documentation with a verified address you can come pick it up..surely after winning so much,a trip to wherever the cash is at would be a mini vacation:rolleyes:
