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.

Heh, I love organizations that can give away millions to a random person yet can't afford their own web domain [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I get like five of those a day. If none of them are scams, and they don't seem to be, I will be richer than Bill G by the end of the year.

Also, don't forget to help all those nice people who offer you $50.000.000 for helping them to transfer funds.

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]

If you actually thought this might be true I wouldn't play poker either if I were you.

Here is a great "scam the scammer" thread. If you've got an hour to kill it's a fun read. Nothing poker related, but fun none the less.

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
