You know what they say, if it's too good to be true it's probably a scam. I'm sure they will 'require' you give them full disclosure of all your personal info regarding your bank accounts, CC numbers, but will for some strange reason not 'require' any 'standsrd' means of ID, like a drivers license etc.

I know you know this, but if you really won something then you would have someone knock at your door. at the very least the mail man with a registered mail.

Anyway, nuf said,

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

It took that much time for you to get another one? I 'win' several times a day. If I posted my notices to these forums I'd be accused of trying to inflate my post count. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Now watch some idiot will see this post and actually try and pull a slick weasle on me and contact the contact. LOL

Back when these first started coming out I told a guy I worked with about getting one. He asked me to forward him a copy. I found out today when I ran into his ex-wife, that he blew nearly 10 grand on it. The SOB actually thought he could "sneak in and steal" my winnings according to his ex-wife and lost his ***. He borrowed money on every credit card he had, from all his friends, his family, and even did those car title loans to get the money up to send them. ROFLMAO histarically.

With any luck, after a nice meal, a few glasses of wine, and some pillo talk, old fat arse Atrocities will be getting lucky tonight. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Now that she is on the market, and very interested, at least for the short run, who am I to say no.

$500,000 US ?? That's a lot of money! How to spend it all?...

A nice new house, a couple of expensive cars, a fancy cruise vacation, a top-of-the-line computer system, tons of games, candy, ice cream, cookies...

You know AT, the telephonenumber they're giving isn't a real one. Only the 0031 (landcode) is right, the rest isn't real.
Pretty funny these things mostly originate from my beautiful country, or from Afrika. You can almost smell they're not real.
Have fun responding to this. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Edit: I'll take my money in Euro's, so that measn 500000 Euro, that is roughly 30% more than in American Dollars, hehehe.... gimme, gimme, gimme...

I would just once love to run the gambit with these people and burn them. Show up at their door with a news crew and do 48 hours investigation on them. Make them look sooooooooooooooooo stupid, yes I know hipocritical given my anti media post, but still I would enjoy it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

No No Timstone, Ask them to deliver it In Japanese Yen Bills http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif It would be ammusing to see how many trucks would be needed to transport all those bills.

You won't be able to get any straight answers from them, though. No street address, no legit business references. The point of the scam is to find suckers like your 'friend' who will feel the itch of unreasoning greed and send them money in the hopes of getting more money. Actually sending them money and then tracing the transaction is probably the only way you'd find them. That should be left to law agencies, though.

What to do with $500,000? Put it in the bank. An extra $15,000 a year would be nice.

You could almost buy a house in Los Angeles with that kinda money.

$15,000 a year? Hey, I might be able to live on that if I move to a cheap apartment with some roommates.
