Email Scam # 28
I love virtual winning but I hate somebody trying to scam me. It is an insult to my intelligence. So here is another e-mail scam. And to think I didn't even apply; I didn't even know about the contest and they don't even know my name. But yet I won - I won by not giving in to the scam!! This Nigerian type scam has been around for a long time and now seems to be promoted by e-mail scams. Sometimes the alleged payout is in US Dollars, sometimes in Euros and sometimes in pounds Sterling.
