anything out of country is fake.

 

you can only win a lottery if you are a legal tax paying resident of that country, it's fake. have you been to Australia lately and bought a lotto ticket?

Also in Australia there is no such thing as 'Inc' Australian companies do not incorporate, they are generally a LLC (limited liability company or LTD as its commonly called)

 

cool. havent been to australia. yet.

 

it's one of those 419 scams where you have to pay fees first in order to get your money

 

what do you mean? 21 million dollars came from a prince in nifugeria and I got me $200,000 for sending it to a different account.

 

i love scams, you should message or email the person pretending you don't know you're being messed with then mess with them! *ie lie send them goatse or other nasty stuff

 

i think you won

 

'nuff said...

 

so its real?

 

haha, regionall office.... for California..... in Nigeria..... :rotfl: i missed that. i so won.......

 

lol are you seriously asking us if that was a scam? or being sarcastic? hahaha

i've been receiving emails like those for several years now

 

Rich guys from Nigeria or Saudi Arabia always seem to want to buy things for their son off eBay which requires a wire transfer and it has to be mailed out ASAP to a mysterious address.

 

i'm willing to bet that if you call, they will ask for your bank account number and routing number, and then you can kiss your account balance goodbye.

 

it was sarcasm Ian. ive always heard of them, but this is my first
