It's not a scam. Make sure to include your social security, bank account, and atm pin number to them for faster processing.

Re: I JUST WON 3 MILLION DOLLARS : please tell me this is not a scam
 

don't know if you're joking, but it's an obvious scam.

Re: I JUST WON 3 MILLION DOLLARS : please tell me this is not a scam
 

Are those typos yours or was it sent that way? If it had the typos when it came, that greatly increases the chance of it being a scam.

If it is legit: I just wanted to know that I have been following your posts for a while and find them extremely intellectual. I have the utmost respect for you and hopefully we can strike up a deeper correspondence. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Wow. At first I thought you were being sarcastic, but now I see you were being serious. And all the responses that people sent of it "probably" is a scam also amaze me. Of course its a scam. Its not even close. Theres not even a .0001 percent chance its not a scam, for so many reasons, I could write a 20 page post about it. Money really does blind, I guess I see now why so many people fall for these things each year. If an intelligent 2+2'er and winning poker player might even consider the possibility that this could be for real, I can see how the unwashed masses lose millions to this kind of thing every year. I guess money and greed really do blind.

This is not a scam. I am involved in this from my office in the UK (UNITED KINGDOM).

In order to facilitate the transferal, you must send a negligible sum of £1000 in order to activate the account transferal procedure so that you can receive in full your winnings of £1,500,000 (ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING). Your transfer fee will also be returned to you.

PM me for account details.

P.S. If anyone else reading this wishes to partake in this lottery or wants to discover whether they have already coincidentally been entered for free and won, please PM me.

Lol, I was clearing crap of a friends computer and found a bunch of those emails in his sent mail files. Apparently my friend was very close to brokering a 25 million USD deal. LMAO.

Seriously though, any email with that many typos and grammatical errors is either spam or from an online poker operator.

Re: I JUST WON 3 MILLION DOLLARS : please tell me this is not a scam
 

Please please please please email them on October 1st and ask if you are too late, and get back to us with what they say.

Re: I JUST WON 3 MILLION DOLLARS : please tell me this is not a scam
 

I get about 10 of these nigerian scam emails per day. And, the following is a link to a highly amusing website where they play games with the scammers:

http://www.419eater.com/

They email the scammers, pretend to be going along with the scam, and then tell the scammer that in order to be sure they can trust him, they will need a photo of him doing some odd thing, so they know the photo was recently taken.

So they have the scammer send a photo of himself holding a fish, or holding a sign which says "I love little boys", or some such thing, and they post the pictures on their website.

Re: I JUST WON 3 MILLION DOLLARS : please tell me this is not a scam
 

Only 1.5 million pounds? You are better off dealing with the finance minister from Liberia who can 'insure' you get 30% of $250 million if you just help him.

Hey, 10 bucks here, 10 bucks there, and the next thing you know, you've spent all those millions you're trying to give away! Rich people and organizations are always that frugal; that's how they got to be rich in the first place! [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

From Mrs. HILDA ROSSMAN
No: 304 Kings way ave Highland
South Johannesburg South Africa
Tel: +27 73 7929285

Att: SIR/MADDAM,

With due respect trust and humility, I write to you irrespective of the fact
you do not know me, but please do consider this letter as a request from a
widow and family in dire need of assistance. I am Mrs. HILDA ROSSMAN, the
widow of late Mr. Goodwill Jonathan Rossman. The renowned Zimbabwe wine and
cattle ranch farmer and owner of Rossman Farms in Zimbabwe.

I got your contact courtesy of a business journal fromthe South Africa
Information exchange in my earnest search for a reliable and trustworthy
individual or company that can assist my family in this business. During the
war waged against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters and cohorts of
President Robert Mugabe, to claim all the white/blacks owned farmer in our
country, My late husband belong to one of the classis of the farmer targeted
by the ZANU_PF armed group, because he did not support the ideas and
policies. In the cause of the revolution in the country, the ZANU_PF armed
group attacked and invaded my husband farms, burning, destroying and
eventual killing my husband may his gentle soul rest in the lord Amen.

After my husband death last year, I managed to escape the boundaries of
Zimbabwe in to the neighboring South Africa with my two sons because our
lives were threatened and Zimbabwe was no longer safe for us. We escaped
safely into South Africa with my husband
lifetime future of US$15Million (Fifteen Million United State Dollars) cash,
important documents of property little and other valuables which we
concealed and secured in two treasure boxes and transported to
Johannesburg South Africa through diplomatic means. The consignment boxes of
treasure was safely lodged and secured into the vaults of a reputable
security and brokerage firm here in Johannesburg South Africa.

In recognition of your management skills, power and investment opportunities
that abound in your country, I therefore, solicit for your assistance in
moving my family’s money into your bank account for safekeeping pending our
future arrival for investment. The family has resolved to compensate you
adequately by offering a brokerage commission of 20% of the money. I have in
mind to establish good business and friendly relationship with you.

Please if you would want to assist in this regard kindly contact my first
son's telephone +27 73 7929285PETER ROSSMAN {JUNIOR} Or please send an email
to the family on my late husband's email address.

Thanks and God bless you
HILDA ROSSMAN{Mrs.}
