Got this in my email today and thought I'd share my excitement! I'll be contacting them right away to claim my prize!

The email came with the body as a .jpg attachment. I took a screenshot in case there was something malicious embedded. (I run Linux so I don't worry about these too much. :D )

Pretty comical stuff really. You'd think they'd at least make it believable.

I think randomweiners would have been funnier, but yeah I caught the email addresses too. heheh Lots of funny stuff in that image.
 
Time to screw with the scammers!
 
Whoa has to be true....There is not a section about giving your bank account number where 10 million will be deposited and all you have to do is take out 2 million to send back to sender.....It didn't even say that your distant cousin who owned all of africas oil fields has died and you are the inheritor of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars......WTF
 
Am I the only one who noticed that the drawing was 4 October, 2010 but the prize must be claimed by 5-11-2010?
 
See what I got!

Att:

All winners are expected to buy their air ticket to Johannesburg here and take care of their well-being while here; such as their food and accommodation, hotel bill etc. if the winner decides to fly down.

Alternatively the winner will have to hire a legal representative here that will stand on his/her behalf and advance to the high court to obtain the affidavit of winner ship in Johannesburg high court and present it to the paying bank to enable the bank issue the winners transfer authorization order.

You are hereby advice to make your choice either to but your air ticket to South Africa or to hire a legal representative on your behalf.

I wait for your urgent respond.
