These have been going on forever, and I can’t help but laugh every time I get one. I feel bad for the people who actually think that this is real and get scammed into it. I mean look at the contact email address… it is a hotmail address. You would think that a company giving away tons of money would at least have their own domain right? I thought I would post the email I got just for fun.

Yes that’s right, I just received the same SCAM/SPAM, I mean this is 2 good 2 be true kind of thing. Who would want to give you lots of money in a lottery that you never even took part! By the way, why would a SWISS “ON-LINE” Lottery would never EVEN have their own WEBSITE? And why are they based in LIVERPOOL of all the placed, makes you wonder….
