    It has finally happened, my dreams have come true, I have won the lotto!!!!!!! Thank you God, this is proof you really do exist!!!!.

    And to think those nice lotto guys were kind enough to send me all the documents to fill in so they could wire me the winnings..

    But I have one problem, I have no next of KIN, was an only child an parents dead, since I am posting in Lonely Hearts, maybe there is someone who would like to be the next of kin so I can get the winnings? please contact me as the nice lotto guys said I need to fill in that section, they also said they will need the bank details of the next of kin as they send them a 5000 euros bonus payment aswell.

    Anyway for those of you who are interested, here is the scanned letter that I received today from those nice lotto guys in Spain, (strange I never bought a ticket)

    anyway I am off to travel agent now to book some holidays, Already called my boss to tell him to f-off as I resigned.

    aw, that's a terrible shame!

    Take a look at the 3rd paragraph, you're supposed to keep it a secret until the funds are in your account!

    Don't worry, fill out the form, and "Iberia Promotions", who own 10% of your winnings because they bought and played the ticket in your name, will send your bank a giro to remove several thousand in "administrative fees" from your account. But hey, it's ok, you're due to win 678,000 (Six hundred and seventy eight thousand) which will 100% be transferred to your account.

    How did they even get your address?

    You should set up a new bank account and give them the details. What have you got to lose except your credit rating, financial standing and bank's trust? :pac:

    That's proabably not enough for a beer. Demand twelve million.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Wouldn't it be hateful if it actually was true and you deleted/threw it out.

    Then your neighbour claims the prize.

    time to remind everyone about this

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7174760.stm


    (Jeremy) Clarkson published details of his Barclays account in the Sun newspaper, including his account number and sort code. He even told people how to find out his address.

    "All you'll be able to do with them is put money into my account. Not take it out. Honestly, I've never known such a palaver about nothing," he told readers.

    But he was proved wrong, as the 47-year-old wrote in his Sunday Times column.

    "I opened my bank statement this morning to find out that someone has set up a direct debit which automatically takes £500 from my account," he said.

    "The bank cannot find out who did this because of the Data Protection Act and they cannot stop it from happening again.

    Of all the things to be stereotyped about the Nigerians have to be known as spammers. In fairness when they thought of spamming it was a good idea but now everybody is too lazy to be original.

    Society aint what it used to be :(
