Why do they go so high with the winnings?

Like if they were like, "you won $500", it would be easier to swallow.

I'd reply in a second - you really have nothing to lose.

Except if they start spamming your mailbox like crazy.

If anyone ever won anything legitly on the Internet you will never be contacted by <I>e-mail</I> to claim your prize. A phone call or real piece of mail is almost guaranteed. Trusting any important news over a standard, non-secured e-mail address is unlikely at best in today's world.

Can we have a phonetic pronunciation of that?

Personally, I've always liked using the name Hugh G. Rexion.

Marv,

phonetically speaking...

Miss Elie Ayri -----> Miselli Ayri

with the Miselli meaning "suck my" and Ayri is obviously "my cock"

Use photoshop, or other image editing tools, to create a driver's licence.

It shouldn't look like a real driver's licence, it should just look semi-official. Do not use any numbers or letters from your real licence.

When this happened to me, quite some time ago, I found 33 pages of names and addresses of these thieves, for lack of a better word. A wide-spread scam, getting worse, and as others have said, a lot more spams come out of responding.

Chupa MiGallo - heh.
