I have won and inherited so much money from Nigerian princes, that I was able to stop working and become a SAHM.....my husband has not inherited anything so he works ! : )</p> <p>This should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission which tracks this kind of stuff. It seems minor, but it is important that they stay on top of this. Every time I get one of these I forward it to the FTC :</p> <p><a href="mailto:spam@uce.gov">spam@uce.gov</a></p> <p>PLEASE FORWARD THE ENTIRE EMAIL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scam-email-saying-i-won-a-big-lottery#post-135817 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:03:00 +0000 Ele 135817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, impressive Vani! ;)</p> <p>San, what email provider do you use? I use gmail and there's a little "report spam" button that you can hit whenever you're "in" a particular email/conversation- this moves the email to your spam folder, blocks further emails from that address, and actually makes the provider better at recognizing spam for other users, too. Not sure if hotmail or whatever has a similar option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scam-email-saying-i-won-a-big-lottery#post-135802 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:32:53 +0000 Vani 135802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had Nigerian royalty wanting me to look after their money because of the revolution </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scam-email-saying-i-won-a-big-lottery#post-135801 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:32:40 +0000 Louise 135801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and the king of Zimbabwe who wanted to give me 10 million! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scam-email-saying-i-won-a-big-lottery#post-135796 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:26:02 +0000 Anonymous 135796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh now this is getting funny!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scam-email-saying-i-won-a-big-lottery#post-135794 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:23:37 +0000 Queen Mum 135794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had numerous relatives die overseas and leave me with a huge inheritance- LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scam-email-saying-i-won-a-big-lottery#post-135793 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:23:30 +0000 Anonymous 135793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I'm calm now.

The return address is from, (don't open) <a href="mailto:grantawards002@cox.net">grantawards002@cox.net</a>. Please don't open it as I do not want to cause harm to anyone if it is a virus. It says it is a United Kingdom award.<br /> Does anyone know where I report a scam? </p>
