This box contains number of foreign currency, which ranges from United States dollars down to Japanese yem, thus running into $65 millions of U.S. dollars when converted. Dear colleague, I have already made prior arrangement with a member of united nation red cross diplomatic agent who assisted me to convey the box, out of the pakistan to london as a personal luggage for safe keeping, where you will assist me to pick it up. I have so far decided to undisclose these funds to the "Federal Emergency Management Agency", pending my personal use of these fund, soon after this disaster retun back to normal.

ccairspace Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'm not surprised it started. What continually amazes me is that IT WORKS! Who actually sends money? It just boggles this old brain to no end that people will believe an unsolicited email like that and follow through. I wish someone would explain the psychology to me, because I just don't get it. ccairspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Touchdown Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I had to laugh the other day as the "big" 40 million dollar draw was approaching and people were buying tickets and getting excited. The radio DJ read off a list to things that are more likely to happen to you assuming 14 million to 1 odds for the 649. Your were 50 times more likely to be hit by lightning and 12 times more likely to be involved in a shark attack....I thought that about summed it up. My apologies to the winners however....

ccairspace Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Incredible... Before Wednesday's draw, lineups were long in every part of the country. In the past four days, Canadians spent $90 million on 6/49 tickets. $54 million lottery ticket bought in Camrose AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fester Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Although I never, ever buy lottery tickets (gov't gets enough of my $ as is), I can fully understand that people will spend $2. to dream. It's cheap. And the dream can last as long as you want, all for two bucks. It's the deal of deals, unless you're able to do the dreaming for free... As for the email scams, only the depraved would actually fall for this BS. However, there's a sucker born every minute, and the sharks just play the odds.
