Why do these idiots keep sending me this?
More importantly... Why are they still in business? ticket number 7PWYZ2006 FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR PROMOTION/PRIZE AWARD DEPT. I have been reporting on this fake lottery for years, (at least two). And yet, they continue to operate, stealing tens of thousands of dollars a year from gullible people. The police, despite having numerous reports, I know because I have reported them myself... Have done nothing. People continue to fall for this disgusting scam, and Netscape, AIM, Yahoo, Hotmail, and all the major and minor, free email services, continue to allow this garbage to be sent throught their system. You can't tell me that any of these providers is unaware when thousands of emails are sent a minute from some Internet cafe in Nigeria or The Netherlands... If you get one of these, dont just delete it. Report it, and insist that the provider take action. Report it to local police, explain to them how these scams work, and offer to work with them to catch these clowns. DO SOMETHING! Posted by David A at December 15, 2006 11:52 AM
