have you encountered one of those outrageous internet scams?

Since I've started surfing the net and have my own email, I have come across all sorts of funny and outrageous scams that looks so original but unbelievable. Imagine someone you don't even know informs you that you won a lottery somewhere in this planet by assigning your email a lottery number and being picked as a winner in the millions of pounds or dollars! Some have very common sounding names like yahoo.com and they have valid emails too. There is this one in London that I kept replying, taunting and insulting and to my chagrin, it keeps answering back. So to make it sound more ominous to him, I told him to give me his actual address and telephone number so I'll let my relative in London drop on him. That's when the spams stop coming. However, to my consternation, several other spams and scams appear sounding very familiar. Now I don't read them anymore and just delete them immediately although I presume that many of them is on autopilot. I don't know if there are some readers here who fell into this scams. Did you?
