Lottery Winner?

[joei]

*dancing around* I'm a winner! I'm a winner!

My biggest question about this wonderful win is: Why does someone processing a Yahoo Lotto using a gmail address?

See the email I received yesterday.

Oooo, I know a millionairess!

[joei]

You do? Who? ...oh wait, it's ME!

Seriously, I wish.
And I wish this scammer would bother learning proper grammar. After all, that email sounded oh so official and proper, didn't it? *L*

Amazes me that they'll still catch a few suckers with that!

I admit I'm a sucker about some things, but I find I'm ALWAYS skeptical about anything offered free in emails.

Because its a scam :P

A scam!?! Say it isn't so. *pout*

I was going to write an email to the address saying I wanted my money now, and if they worked for yahoo they'd have my information already through them. So just send me the money.

Then I decided not to give them any possible way of tracing me or hacking my account based on my return email.
