Spanish Lottery Win

    These scammers somehow managed to get my name from somewhere (worrying) and sent me my winning notification this week :o

    Is there anybody I can send this to that might actually follow it up? First time Ive seen one up close although Im sure they are landing on Irish doorsteps in their hundreds each week. What Im more annoyed about is where did these pricks get my name and address from :confused: I only moved into the house 18mths ago.

    You can see how the poor aul ones get stung :(

    i won it as well - what made it better was teh fact a nigerian guy who's family have a load of money contacted me this week too - all i need to do is send him some 'leg up' cash and my bank account details, and i'' be even more loaded.

    Sometimes life is just so great.

    Perfect!! Tell the Nigerian guy you're really interested in his story, you'd be delighted to help him, and send him your winning Spanish lottery ticket!! :D
