Last week I recieved from the United Kingdom two mails of lottery saying that I won money. These two letters were from Central Lotto U.K. and Emirate Services U.K.
I definitely needed this money. The first one said that I won $40,000 dollars, but had to pay a tax on it. I called them long-distance, but the guy on the other line didn't sound British as I hoped. This guy sounded Indian (as in New Delhi India), and I couldn't understand some of what this joker's talking about. It looked promising with the second mail I got, and it had a check for $1,550 dollars for tax payment, and a letter saying I won about $140,000 dollars. My bank account was in the red already, and the letter and check were my only hope. The sitch got even worse.
Today, I went to the bank in order to cash the check in, only to have it say it was a scam, and my bank's branch manager taught me that it was called a Lottery Scam, that the check, even though it said "Original Document", looked like it came from an inkjet printer. He has the original copy and gave me a photocopy just in case. He's determining if the check is fake or not. If it's real, then they'll call me and i'll get the cash for tax payments, and i'll get a second chance. If it's fake, then they will call me, and they'll verify it. If they cashed the check in, and I sent the money to Western Union, then they'd send back the check saying it's no good, and my bank would hunt me down to pay the bad check back.
Now I know how it feels to be betrayed, to have one's confidence and dreams smashed by those evil scamming punks and "GRQs" (pronounced "jerks"). I got backstabbed when I was at my worst, and at bad timing! This is why ALL SCAMS AND GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES MUST DIE!!! Those who enjoy scamming others like me deserve to rot in prison and have their illegit and corrupt businesses shut down forever! Read my words: THEY...ALL...MUST...DIE!!!

I also received a lot of them or emails but since I never believed it in the first place, I simply deleted the emails without checking it out or reading it. Unfortunately there will be weak people out there replying and trying to get that money. Those people have scripts they use and they are all the same so please be very careful.

Oh, and it wasn't email. It was paper mail...snail mail. It was even worse.

If you never played that lottery then how could you win. I get about 5 or more of those e-mails a day. You can tell they are scams. I report them.
