"28th days" grammar.

If it is too good to be true it most probably is.

Usually to claim you prise you will have to set-up some settlement account which you pay a fee then they disappear.

Oh Liz, you lucky woman. LOL
I've not received that message yet.

"MICRO SOFT" ?

"a prize money"

"Selected Winners" (capitalised for no reason - my pet hate)

I can't go on... it's too horrible...

If these people learn to spell and use grammar as it is intended they may actually get somewhere. I wonder if there's any money in it to help them out?

Bugger .... i was hoping there may have been a billionith of a chance that I could be a rich girl for Xmas.

It's always a hoax. I've been subject to plenty of random friendings and what not by spammers.

I've had the displeasure of chatting to someone who couldn't remember if they had entered a UK lottery and thought they better pay the $1000 fee just incase. I'm glad I haven't seen that person again, they're lowing the IQ of the global gene pool.

Oh man I missed that you had posted the text. That's classic. I just checked my email, I'm amazed that I don't have any WoW spam today.

The funniest one I've got lately told me they had $12.70 for me.

Did someone forget a few zeroes or "million"?

you spelt losing wrong - it's not loosing. Loosing is letting something loose.

You'll now have to write V2.1

That is priceless !! You could make a fortune with that. Scam the scammers. I used to be involved with 419Eater group, the anti scammers who reverse engineer the mugus. That would be such an awesome ploy to try out. Seriously tempted to try it again, except I'm busy with a telescope somewhere.

T'is seriously tempting though ...

Just send them a list of 900,000 dollars worth of astro equipment and see if they will send it to an address of your choice
