Just received an email for Great Britian telling me that I have won the email lottery. Winnings amount to 1.5 million British Pounds. All I need to do was send them my name & address phone # and bank account info to have it transfered. In my excitement I deleted it. Darn the luck

Must be some sort of illness, I win 2 or 3 lotterys a week and for some un-explained reason I keep running the mouse pointer to the delete button. I'll never get rich that way! Suppose this is a disability that I could draw compensation from the gov't for?

Write it off on your income tax as a loss!

Reply back to them that you will be through there next week and will pick it up in person.

As the old saying goes "Nobody gives you anything soner or later you will have to pay for it" I have always had to work my A## off to make a living. Just tell them you will have your "agent" pick the money up in a few days If they would be kind enough to give you their address.

Tell them to forget about transferring it into your account- you'd rather they just mail you a rubber check.

Local news said today that they scammed two elderly folks here- one for $350, the other for over 3 grand.

Do these people think we are stupid on this side of the pond? I advertised for a chain guard for my 1936 indian four, on a web sight everyone in the world can read. In the past 8 months I have received 10 responses from the UK telling me they have one, and no responses from the USA where I would have expected to find one. I really doubt many indians were shipped overseas back then. stan

An old shoemaker slaved away in his little shop.Once a week he put a little money in to a ticket for the Irish sweepstakes. After many decades there was a knock at the door, the man said the old shoemaker had won the sweepstakes. The old man locked the shop, threw the key in the river, and went off for a WILD time for about a year. The money was all gone. He came back, opened his shop, same old habit, bought the sweepstakes ticket. Kept working away. One day, there was a knock at the door, the man said, you are the only person to ever win the sweepstakes two times! The old shoemaker replied, OH NO, you mean I gotta go through all that again?
Be glad you deleted, not worth the trouble.

I say, they are entering a contract, and they should hold their end of the contract. If they try to scam you, you could sue them for that million pounds, for bailing out on the contract.

Wish this were possible. Reverse scamming
