aerospacemango Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I know that these go around ALL the time, however, what made me particularly laugh about this one, was the date when the draw was made!

LosOjos Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I always knew I'd win the lottery on the 30th of February
jinnantonnixx Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Chop chop! You only have nine (9) days to collect your winnings.
creese Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The postcode in Maps goes to Unite the Union, on Theobald's Rd Camden. Something :fish2:there.
aerospacemango Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 Sorry....You're right! I was blinded by the £15,000,000!!! Anyhoooo...I answered it and they said that all I had to do was send them £1500 and they'd send me the cheque. Have done the bank transfer....just waiting for the £1.5m to come rolling in! Apparently, the transfer will come from their Nigerian account.......
jamesb Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Do people really still fall for these emails? are people so stupid/gullible? Do people still play the National Lottery?
somabc Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I always knew I'd win the lottery on the 30th of February There is actually nothing in that email that is true is there, not even the date!

LosOjos Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 You know your chances of winning the lottery are only slightly improved by buying a ticket? Actually, your chances of winning are improved infinitely by buying a ticket. They're still not great odds though /nobbery
jinnantonnixx Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 You know your chances of winning the lottery are only slightly improved by buying a ticket? Edit: Apologies for the temporal anomalies. My signature is playing up and you replied to a deleted post.

mark100 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I got this email of Sir Greg too... what are the chances!!! i needless to say replied straight away and should be receiving my cheque within two days
timzim Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I like this line: "You has the right to call the bank..." Definitely the Bank of Nigeria!
pscott Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Chance of winning the lottery is 50/50 - either you win or you don't! (Can't remember comedian who said it, but I liked it)
aerospacemango Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 I got this email of Sir Greg too... what are the chances!!! i needless to say replied straight away and should be receiving my cheque within two days When the money comes through, we should meet up and quaff Champagne, whilst looking down at all the oiks!
Ketlane Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 One more thing that seems strange - can there really be 3000 email addresses in Antarctica to enter in this wonderful scam? ("drawn from twenty one thousand (21,000) E-mail addresses; three thousand (3,000) E-mail addresses from each continent")
accura2000 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 There is actually nothing in that email that is true is there, not even the date!# Yes there is, "NOTE: Do not reply this mail." pmsl
featured_spectre Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Ask them to send it to you in cash and unmarked bills, and you send back the remaining after you have your cut of it. lol
cromertech Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Sorry....You're right! I was blinded by the £15,000,000!!!
