Wow i won £450,000, lucky me. Now that's tempting , if i didn't receive the same message from different companies and brands. It was Nokia, coca cola , MacDonalds, .....etc.
Tempting but still stupid. cuz no one is that lucky every single day.

What's going on? why are scam people back in business this fierce ?
It was a while since receiving such emails and with this eagerness. lol

The question remain the same .....Does anyone fall for these scams ??


I know that we got warnings every time about these but please people be careful . Don't believe that it can happen to you. It happened to me before, you know how ? because of a virus that's got into my computer and instead of taking it to be cleaned or formated. I went with the warnings had on my computer about a virus and that they are they only one who can get it ( the warnings were from the same people who install the virus through another program i used and i was updating ) so i was stupid enough and desperate so i paid ( thank God it was not that much). And guess what? the virus was still there.




And be even more careful because the scam business is way various than we can imagine .
