Congrats you have won 2,50,000 Pounds !!

i get lots of messages like these...Other day on Triond account of mine..i received a message where the girl said...i like you after seeing you...not matter what color, caste or country you are...we can live happily. please send me your email id. I didnt reply. Again after a few days i received a message, i have been waiting but you didnt reply. then i send my email id and i received a letter saying i am an orphan and i have 60kgs of gold and 400 million USD. i want to share with you...She also sent her photographs. I immediately deleted this message as i get hundreds like these...

Yes,even I got this message,but did not wonder as it is totally a scam.People are misleading others. We are living in a suspicious world. Don't get crazy to answer such mails.Be cautious.

Yes ganny I have received lots of different emails like this. I have even received REAL checks in the mail. That I am suppose to take to my bank, deposit, go shopping and buy what ever I want, its mine to keep, then mail a report of my shopping experiences and a check for $250 for their fee! The catch is their check will bounce but I have already sent them the fee! NOPE to smart for that, although I have to admit when your holding a real check in your hand it makes you think for a minute!!!!! There are so many 'scams' out there that you really have to beware. I think your topic is great as it will open many eyes to what is going on.

I've received them and I also intentionally seek them out as part of a group which fights these scammers in an attempt to keep at least some of them too busy to bother other people. Email addresses are often sold by websites which is how they got yours. If you continue to ignore them your email address will eventually be rated as not in use and they will stop.

Hello Gany. Well, if that ever happens to me, i would probably faint or something. I am just glad you did not respond to that. You have no idea how much trouble would have then. TATA.

Well I recieve lots of them, I even sent a mail regarding this, I got the reply saying I have to pay around 50,000/- for shipping and tranferring etc. there is nothing like this, I guess, just duping people, and all the mails are from London.

Like what others said, this is a typical email that came from Nigerian scammers. They send these emails hoping that someone would actually believe it then they will respond to it. The scammers will then ask them to send money claiming it's a fee but what they are doing is only getting money from the poor victim. Believe it or not, there are people who fall for these kinds of scam mails. If I actually won then I would probably invest it in a business then let the rest of the money grow interest in the bank. I'll also build some charitable foundations to help other people or donate to foundations.

Hi, Gany! I delete these, or they go straight to spam. However, once in a while, I can't help thinking about what I'd do if I really did win such a thing. I'd give a big chunk of it to a variety or charitable organizations, and see what I could do about arranging for lobbying in congress for issues I think are really important. Just knowing I'd never have to worry about paying the bills would be so wonderful!

same here!! i've always received that kind of message .. yah! it's so irritating why they have to send message like that even if it is not true .. they're just wasting there time, especially ours ... heheheh ... but sometimes i think deeply if "what if" that is true and i just snob my opportunity to claim a large amount of money .. so funny but too disgusting!!! hehehehe...

They hope you really think you've won a prize. Instead of that they immediately give you the prize, they will never award you any prize whatsoever by the way, they will ask you to for deposit some money into their bank account/credit card, after you've made the payment you can say bye-bye to your money.

I too get messages like this but I immediately delete them. Don't bother much about them.

It's OK to dream but I just can't trust. I've got lots like this over the years. There was one which requested help to move a family fortune out with a promise of a 50:50 share. But there were lots of legal and administrative charges I had to foot before I could ever come close to the money. Oh boy! what a scam! The one you received is no different!

Yes, I received this kind of messages every alternate day and if it was real, I would've been in the list of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. Some had said, the world is full of fools, and these people live on that only. They are not tired of sending emails worldwide and I am sure they might be getting some victims to carry on their wrong intentions. I feel they should be queued up somewhere and I should whip their a***s till my satisfaction.

i received several sms like these but i just ignore them as i know that these are scams only. sometimes i even think of trying to contact them and just waste their time but i also think that i will be wasting my time too. but if i would really win, then it would change my life and the people that surrounds me, maybe for the better and for the worse, as we all know that money is the root of all evil hehehe...

you get this message only to fool you just to get your email registered in their database, so they can see the databases so that they will most likely earn money, and you will earn a mailbox full of spam, if I really won this much of money and I wouldn't know, then I would just blow my chance away.
