    Exclamation I think I have scam mail

    I'm not used to this sort of thing as live in our own world out here.
    Opened my mail today and found a so called International Entry Notice to a British Lottery special combination series with European Lottery Guild
    How did the bastards find me They obviously want Money and or cred card.
    Has any one had one of these?

    lol. They are very common. Just press trash!

    How do they find you? heaps of ways. Some ways include having a machine which just types n random words/adreses and presses send and hope it reaches someone. And tohers are when you sign up for a competiion and your detaisl get sold on.

    Xav

    P.s. did you actually read it all?

    This one arrived by a homing pigeon I'm used to the interweb ones.
    Havn't read all yet Would look very convincing for some as has bar codes stamps etc. One of the neatest I've seen anyway.

    Over the years other than chain letters and general junk mail (Holidays etc) this is about the 3rd spamster to hit here

    yes yes get them all the time.....and if you ever get anything for ebay, you will always have a duplicate email in your ebay account if it is real..

    If you ever get one from paypal they will ALWAYS address you buy your name!

    if you ever get one from your bank asking you to confirm details ALWAYS check with them before clicking.

    I got a real Nigerian scam letter through the paper post. Kept it around for months to show off, never got around to claiming my millions.

    Be careful, some aren't trash. I won the Spanish Lottery the other day.

    Just waiting for my money to come through. I had to pay the $1000 transfer fee up front though but it's all kosher.
