Why would anyone still believe these dumb emails? The Nigerian one and versions of it are still going around!!! Don't people know that a phone call or an in person announcement is how major winnings are disclosed? They are only fishing for a confirmation of a valid email address so they can add you to a list they can sell. Responding confirms your email is valid.

Never underestimate the IQ of a person falling like a ton of bricks when they get in front of a computer. At my "day" job, I see about 10 a day of people clicking on the instant win, then wondering why I'm laying a bill on then for a repair LOL!

It's probably you LC to generate more work for yourself :D

I know a few people who will click away and not realize they might get a virus from something they are trying to open. We should start a computer help thread. I try to tell people if you are trying to open something sent to you and you don't know what it is, you should scan it first and if someone you don't know sends you an attachment to open and it has an .exe extention it is an executable program and it is more then just a picture, in fact it could be a virus.
