Aug 24, 2004 I received an e-mail Saturday day telling me I had won one million Euros by having my e-mail address entered in an INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY - which I never entered. Curiosity got the better of me, so I responded to the to the “prize claim” e-mail that was listed. I spent all day Sunday wondering what I would do with one million Euros, betting they were going to request my checking account number with the usual SCAM and thinking they could use a spelling and grammar lesson or two. I was WRONG!! Read ahead to see what they REALLY WANT from me. SCARY!!! I notified my local FBI office which requested copies of the e-mails. . P.S. – I may be a “Liberal”, but I’m an alert and patriotic one. ATTN:BOBBIE O"NEILL. RE:CLAIMS/CONFIRMATION Sir/Madam.
