Without even having to buy a ticket I`ve just received this email informing me I`ve won one million big ones! :lol:

Since this folder is about computer safety and security I thought I`d post this here, just in case anyone else should receive the same email. (oops, silly me, there can`t be THAT many winners of $1 million can there?)

lol, you wouldn`t believe how many Nigerians seem to `know` me. I too am always having them write to me to ask me to look after their fortunes until they can get out of the country. :lol:

I read a good account once of someone who turned the tables on one of these scammers and took them for a ride over a fairly prolonged period of time. Nice! :wink:

You know I used to do that too, just toy with them... then a couple of years back I read an account of someone in the US that did that, but they didn't cover their tracks very well and ended up dead... it would go without saying that these guys have very little in the way of morals and that they have a lot at stake... I now tend to just delete them and move on :?
