Spam Scam

From: The Legitimate Australian Lottery Corp.
Subject: YOU HAVE WON $100 MILLION AMERICA CURRENCY!!

Dear Winner,

You have been selected based on a random screening process that involved electronic serial numbers and gerbils on treadmills to be awarded a great deal of surplus revenue that was left by the late Swedish marine biologist/entrepreneur, Dr. Angus Monkeyshanks.

Dr. Monkeyshanks lived on top of a mountain in Tibet and did not spend any of his great wealth. Luckily for you, he died without any near of kin and requested that his inheritance be distributed in lump sums by the Australian Lottery through e-mail. He figured that would be the most fair way. For what it's worth, the good doctor died on an African safari by a stampede of wildebeast. We include this information to assure you of his actual existance.

Your serial number of 5203TdIl392H was picked as our grand prize winner, which will also include an all expenses paid vacation to Haiti and a blue P.T. Cruiser.

In order to claim your prize, simply send your information and life's savings to the following address: monkeyshanks@yahoo.com. Make sure to include:
  1. Name:
  2. Address:
  3. Social Security Number
  4. Nationality:
  5. Occupation:
  6. Age:
  7. Phone:
  8. Pet names:
  9. Favorite Sports Team:
  10. ATM passcode:
  11. How you would like the money arranged: (i.e. 10s, 20s, in a pile, etc.)
The order will take 2-3 business weeks to process and you should receive a package in the mail shortly afterwords. For security reasons, we advise all winners to keep this information confidential from the public until your claim has been shipped to you. Then feel free to gloat.

Take this time to celebrate your good fortune, but make sure to send us the information as quickly as possible to expidite the process. How could we be lying about something like this? We assure you that despite several people that you may have recieved similar e-mails, that could just be a coincidence.

Yours truely,

  1. If a Nigerian prince contacts you directly to help him transfer money to the United States, how do you turn him down?? I'm sure there was just some misunderstanding. I'm positive I'll get my money back as soon as the Prince Napoop is available again.
