::One Million Euros

Wednesday, October 20, 2004

Looks like I have now a pocket money in case I will win the trip to Thailand or Singapore. I received an e-mail that I won One Million Euros in SPONSOR BINGO LOTERIJ INTERNATIONAL with subject line: SPONSOR LOTERIJ WINNE PRIJZEN. It says:

Ref.IMFD Nnumbe: 042/576/577/SD
Batch Number: 5455-98774-HG 7A
Sir/Madam
We are pleased to inform you about the result of the sponsor bingo Lotterij Winners International programs the held on the 19th of October, 2004. Your e-mail address attached to ticket number 007686605- with serial number 6774-582 drew lucky numbers7-16-98-22-20-45 which consequently won in the 1st category, you havetherefore been approved for a lump sum pay out of EUR1,000,000.00 (ONE MILLION EUROS)in cash credited to file REF IMFD 042/576/577/SD This is from total prize money of EUR50,000,000.00 shared among the fifty,international winners in this category. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

The above e-mail is unedited to preserve its contents. Then, I googled the subject line and I got some links that connect the mail to Nigerian E-mail Scams. It's wonderful to have One Million Euros, I can send my children to the USA to continue their college education there and I can visit the apparition sites of Mama Mary but, unfortunately, who got the money these days to give away in the guise of lotteries? I know I didn't join any, so, why should I win?

The e-mail was long and I didn't like to bore my friends to read the full details but, if you insist, here is the link to the exact copy of the e-mail notification I received.

butterfly Let me know you were here, your thoughts are welcome!

I got the same e-mail. It's really sad that some people would play with other peoples feelings that way, especially when so many of us need the money. They do just want your bank account informtion though..

Yeah, that's a very common scam. They want your bank account information. Sad.

Hello, Priscilla, thank you for dropping by.

I visited your site and I could feel your pain. Life is actually just starting with you and, I have noticed that you're few months older than my eldest son.

I bookmarked your site for further reading...

Hello. I am from the US and I found your site on blogexplosion. My mother is from the Philippines and it is nice to see a site where I can learn about my heritage a little. Your site is really wonderful! :)
