Am I Lucky Or What!

I just received an email advising me that I had won a series 7 2016 BMW and $50,000.00.
All I had to do to claim my prizes was to send them my bank pin number and all my personal information.

I don't have any room in my garage next to my three Porsche's and two Lamborghini's so I had to pass up the offer

 

[DaveM]

Oh Wow and I thought I had won that prize, maybe I never claimed it fast enough so the past it on to the next person in the draw

 

[Village Idiot]

Yep, just send me the details, and I'll give them to my accountants "Dewey, Cheatum and Howe" to handle the payments.................
The "village idiot" is only crazy.......not stupid! Jim

Unfortunately, even after all the publicity about such email scams, there will probably be some trusting person who will fall for this crap!!
I shake my head in dismay.
You would think by now that everyone should be aware of such scams and not fall for it.
On one hand I feel sorry for a person who lost their bank account to these thieves, but at the same time not so sorry because they were either so stupid or greedy to try and get something for nothing.

A mate of mine a few years ago won £100.000, all he had to do was send £1000, for admin purposes.
He wrote back to them and said that he was so happy to have won that amount of money, that he wanted them to have £10,000 as a gift, just send him a cheque for £90,000. Strangely he never got the £90,000

Another friend of mine had a conservatory salesman phone him up one day to see if he wanted a conservatory fitted. Well my mate was so enthusiastic about the possibility of some extra room, he decided to get all the information that he could, this chap on the other end of the hook, sorry phone was well happy that a sale was coming his way. Towards the end of the conversation this chap asked my mate if he had any questions. my mate said " Yes just one, I live in a first floor flat, how the hell are you going to fit it ??"
The phone went dead.

My aunt, who was always gullible, was in the early stages of dementia when she started getting these things. We were able to catch it and control her mail, but she had sent money to a lot of organizations before we stepped in. Obviously, when they send these "freebies" out, they're "shot-gunning' them in hopes of finding a gullible, probably older, "fish" to take the bait. A lot of these scams come from overseas (Central Europe lately), and that puts them out of the reach of the authorities in the U.S, etc.

May the gods pi$$ on them: Jim

 

[Rocky]

Yes Jim, that's the unfortunate part of these scams - taking advantage of the elderly and those who are not mentally sharp.
Glad you were able to step in for your aunt

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

How despicably low some people go to, in their quest to get money. Shame on them.

 

[hemibee]

You know who I feel sorry for? The REAL Finance Minister of Nigeria. . . He will never get a real response to any emails he may send out.

 

[triumph david]

Those that are taking advantage of the elderly are real SOB's

 

[Village Idiot]

Do you mean that the e-mails that I received from the Nigerian Finance Minister were FAKE???

Sounds like some of your "friends" are subscribing to the "Nigerian Deal Making" rule book, Rocky!!
