I'm being scammed right now

Sat, 2007/08/18 - 06:38

This guy is in South Africa, they/he even provided a valid number that I communicated with him live not more than 20 minutes ago. They/he claim to be from " World Cup Sout African lottery" too.

I am in Namibia and currently I'm busy playing along following the discovery that it is all a fake and night of wishfull thinking of having a house on a city hillside. He said he will forward an electronic form that I have to fill in shortly.
This guys need to be done away with and for good. What to I do to put an end to this? I called the South African police line and to no avail. I really want him down.

RE: Scam Lottery winning notification e-mails

Thu, 2007/12/20 - 10:01

I have received literally thousands of these "BOGUS" winning notification e-mails over the past 4 years. My advice to everyone is to just delete them. The reality is that if you didn't enter or purchase a ticket you did not win anything and you will loose money if you respond to these Internet criminals. "BEWARE"!!!! "BE WARNED"!!!!
