Gravatar Image1 - hi guys and my friend i have just receivce one mail regarding my winning of a lottery but i shall not respond it

Gravatar Image2 - scams occur when information about a transaction or situation leaks out to the wrong people.
some con men take advantage of a lottery or overinflated contracts or a chronically dormant fat account in a bank. they impersonate the actual parties involved and mimic a planned course of action to get money out of people. not totally bogus stories.
i know this because when an old schoolmate used to work for an oil firm in west africa, the officials there used his contacts and accounts to siphon off millions of dollars. and he made fortunes from the commissions he charged.
a lot of messy deals go on in those places.

Gravatar Image3 - Any chance I could see some headers? This looks kind of familiar. If what I suspect I am already in a dialogue with an ISP about it...

cwl

Gravatar Image4 -
iwant to ask if it real or not? to deal with this lottery or calling the police or interpol for bad guys like them,

Gravatar Image5 - i also got a mail from the efro asian lottery winner dipalt ment. but iwas unfoutunate enough, i replied them i thought that this is call of future. i am a poor chap i thought this might be the way getting rid of the bad luck. so i respoded them and i entangled in it. i sent them the delivery charge. but they promised me return my delivery charge. but i don't think there anything so. so plz plz plz don't fall into it these ppl r froud.

Gravatar Image6 - This week I got an email from some Euro Afro Asian sweepstake lottery shit telling me I had won $2.5 million. I was foolish enough to give them my personal name , address and phone no, but when I did some research on the company, I discovered it was a scam
the moral of the story is.......dont fall for these dogs, destroy any emails you get from them......and dont give out any bank details

Gravatar Image7 - If you believe this is a real lottery and this means you believe you have won money then please beware this stands at number 3 in the list of the biggest scams. You will not get any money and if you write back and then start a diologue with thse people beware these are not just simple con men these are top rated gangsters. once they get hooks into you look out.

Rob

Gravatar Image8 - These are all scams and should be reported!! I have gotten 4 different ones saying that I had won anywhere from $2-20 million on a lottery that i had never heard of or entered. I almost went through with the first one but i decided to check the ip address and found out that their wasnt one. I searched on the internet for it and there were only 2 sites that had it and this was one. The other was a site to report this kind of phishing to.

Gravatar Image9 - I received one like that and is one day away from doing it and now that im seeing these articles i am concerned weather do do it yes or no.

Hey Guys this is the latest email i have received.congratulate me i won 2 million.






Gravatar Image12 - I just got an email from these people. I believe it is a scam. Because if I won why didn't they contact me via phone. Something is fishy and I don't like it. Beware people beware!!!

Gravatar Image13 - I just got one of these the other day but it was not just like yours.I did get back with them and they are saying they are sending it to me.They have not asked for any money at all.I will let you know if they do are not.

Gravatar Image14 - Scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Gravatar Image15 - I did recieved one like this and i believed that it was a scam.Dont you think that somebody will give you a thousand dollars through internet?That's impossible!!!I just laughed ,they are all demons ,nothing to do but to fool people!!!

Gravatar Image16 - i have recieved this mail. az matter of fact,I made my IDabout one week before this mail.and in the mail I read that I won the money about one month later ,and at that time my ID didint exist

Gravatar Image17 - Judas Priest, People! Don't you READ? These are SCAMS. YOU CAN'T COLLECT! These folks are thieves out to steal your money. The police are too busy to do anything about it and the thieves usually live in places like NIGERIA where there are no POLICE anyway. That is why they are called NIGERA SCAMS. There is no one to stop them so the bad guys are going to keep doing this. It is YOUR job to be smart and IGNORE these things. If you want, open them up for a laugh, but realize--THEY ARE NOT REAL.

Gravatar Image18 - I just responded to one of these e-mails, i will update you later if anything happens.

Gravatar Image19 - Well, Here it is, January 11, 2007 and this shit is still going on. I have forwarded it to my local FBI office but I doubt they can or will do anything about it. I can't think of any legitimate lottery or sweepstakes that blindly emails you and asks for money to deliver it to you. Last month I was sending all kinds of information to one of these kinds of things (all of it ficticious of course) I even sent the fuckstick a scanned copy of one of my personal checks made out to him for $1 billion dollars. (I of course scanned it and modified it with my paint program so my name was removed and all the numbers were like 1234 56 7890 or 69696969. Have not heard back from him since. Wonder if he is trying to cash it.

Gravatar Image20 - a friend of mine just recieved an email kinda like this one. it doesnt ask for a name or a copy of id or anything like that though. when he recieved it he responded, but without giving any personal information what so ever. and its not from jakarta or EAAS. what other companies are scams and how can i find out if the lottery headquarters given is real?

Gravatar Image21 - I also responded to this email. Luckily I searched the web first and didn't disclose anything but my name and email to these people!

Gravatar Image22 - FUCK OFF THIS PEOPLES I GOT 1 OF THIS MAIL ALSO AND I CALLED THE GUY IN JAKARTA THEY SAID ME TO SEND 780$ FOR DELIVERY CHARGES .BUT I SAID HIM I DONT HAVE MONEY THEY SAID FOR ME GO TO THERE AND RECEIVE THE MONEY($250.000.00) IN CHEQUE BUT I CHECK SOME SITES AND THIS ONE TOO AND DISCOVERED THIS IS FALSE WELL I CONTACT THE EMBASSY OF INDONESIA FOR CHECK THAT PLACE AND I HOPE THE INTERPOL OR SOME POLICE OF INDONESIA STOP THIS KIND OF JOKE

Gravatar Image23 - Do not do it... It's a scam that will cost you thousands.

Gravatar Image24 - Hi,
I am a winner of this E.A.A.S lottery 2006 held on 1st April 2006
how can i claim and to whom should i have to claim?
reply me on my id
and tell me that how could i collect myprize
