Yeah Right, Whatever – it’s a scam

Well, isn’t that sweeeeet? Scum around the world unite! How come YOU get all the good mail? All I ever get are shoe catalogues and credit card applications. Oh, and warnings that my student loan needs to be consolidated IMMEDIATELY (too late guys, government’s got it) and that the extended coverage on our car is ABOUT TO EXPIRE!!! Well, in about 2 years or 10 thousand miles. What do they think we are, idiots? I’m gonna have to give them an extra-spitty raspberry and two farts for lack of originality and research. Tsk tsk.

It’s amazing to me to know that some people are still falling for that stuff. They probably send their $10 in thinking what the heck – it’s worth a shot. They’d be better off speding their time creating some real income.

Hi, I’m reading you via the No Nofollow | I Follow | DoFollow Community at Bumpzee, on the RSS feed.

I’m a scambaiter, this is a topic fairly familiar to me, and I’d never heard of this particular scam. One reason their scams work is because they always think of new things to try.. and we can’t get the word out to help educate people fast enough. Paris Hilton is oh so much more important, apparently.

Great blog design!

Looking forward to reading more from you.

I have some ocean front property in Arizona I could sell you real cheap.

I love the ones that come in the mail that look like ‘checks.’ They keep coming up with something new almost every day. And sadly, because people are in so much ‘need’ these days, many will fall for it. Hopefully people can learn from you and be more cautious.

i receive tons of such emails and bcuz my profiles in various places has the word sudan or africa (posted there to work), i have lots of africans hunting me down……..hoping that they cld nail 1 victim along their path….sick ppl indeed

I got one of those “Grand Slam Winner” notifications in the mail today, which is how I found you. I was researching it online to see how big a scam it really was….glad to see I’m not the only one to get the mail! I feel sorry for seniors, who likely believe it, and send their money. Would be interesting to know just how much these scumbags make off people around the world.

funny stuff.

The one I received told me to send $10 to claim my “number alloction”–so…. ten dollars to get a number. They send me a number, no money, and they’ve met their obligations…

Of course, the big tip off for me is the fact that I don’t gamble. I’m more interested in knowing how they got my name and address.

Oh ya got in the mail Grand Slam winner of the Canadian 6/40 lottery ….. send $10.00 duh. Do you think I will pay to get a reward. Nice try but no thanks. I am not interested in your big scam.

I too received the “OFFICIAL GRAND SLAM WINNER” letter. They want $10.00 in order to “claim your GRAND SLAM number allocation”. I sent the letter back using the enclosed reply paid envelope. And I included not the requested fee, but a single sheet of used toilet paper.
