Pangloss Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Funny thread. This is really the first UK-oriented spam I've gotten (or at least the first that's gotten through my two-tier spam filtering, which captures at least 500 emails per day). I think it's because I bought something from Amazon.co.uk. Normally I just get stuff from Amazon.com, but they had a DVD I wanted that the US store didn't have. Since then I've been getting these UK lottery spams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Some capitalist you are if you can't see the benefits of sending them a measly $1000 to get $2.5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 This is really the first UK-oriented spam I've gotten (or at least the first that's gotten through my two-tier spam filtering' date=' which captures at least 500 emails per day).[/quote'] I feel obliged, as the UK division of your company, to process this local claim on your behalf. Of course, that would mean all emails sent between myself and UK Lottery International would be accountable under UK law to the UK system of justice. That would get round all that stick red tape that always seems to crop up surrounding remittance claims and accociated legal 'costs'. It would also mean any attempts to defraud (heavens forfend!) could be dealt with swiftly with a chat to my local police officer. Mind you, it might be simpler if I just sent the boys round to collect the cash if administration of international accounts had some sort of handling fee. Once I've got contact, I'll keep the thread informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
