how do they steal your money from doing this?

Posted by: cyash260 at June 17, 2006 07:48 PM

Its simple... They send out tens of thousands of emails to people who's addresses they farm from the interenet. Out of those tens of thousands they encounter some stupid and some greedy.
The realy stupid ones, they convince to give them banking information and personal info so they can steal their identity. The other ones they suck in with promises of money, and then tell you to claim your fee you need to pay a large sum of money as a processing fee. DUDE, listen and listen carefully. DID YOU ENTER A LOTTERY Called by this name? Is the letter in YOUR NAME? No to both... Now stop dreaming of millions delete the email and accept the fact that you have been had!
