Yep I just got this one! I've been the recipient of several of these types of scam emails recently. They seem to have taken a sudden turn in the direction of my email addresses for some reason. It's not just one address, but several, and they only began about a month ago, but have now become relentless, with several appearing in the last week alone.

I've been the beneficiary of trunk boxes containing millions of US dollars, several lucrative job offers, and now this lottery win. Lucky me!!???? I just wish they would all leave me alone. It's becoming a complete pain, having to sift through all of them, now never knowing what is genuine, and what is not.

A lot of these scams though, are run by very dangerous people, especially the Nigerian connections. The people behind them are serious about what they do, and will go to great lengths to con people out of their money, with fantastic charades, which to the unsuspecting, can seem absolutely genuine, until they have been fleeced for all their worth, and realise they've just been done over like a fool and taken for a sucker!

I know, because it nearly happened to me! Thank God I had the sense to be suspicious from the start, and Thank God too for others who wrote about their experiences with these people, which I then read about and realised that I was being completely taken in by some very clever, polished, and practised con artists.

These people can be extremely convincing, but if something unsolicited comes your way via an email, and it's an offer or opportunity which seems too good to be true, you can usually bet that it absolutely is and could potentially also be very dangerous to get yourself involved in.

Very well said sir/mam. I can feel ur sentiments. My partner and I experienced it too, and almost fall for their trap. We're lucky enough not to give anything.
