    Eleven meelyon dollars!

    Eleven AND A FUCKING HALF!!!

    That's more than what a flemish giant costs in weekly upkeep!

    What's the difference between the Flemish Giant and the German Grey Giants? Are they a different breed?

    Both very meaty.

      One problem - the email that this was sent to is not the email associated with facebook.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I got a letter in the mail from some company telling me that my local hospital's database had been breached, and to call them to check on it and protect myself. It seemed legit, so I called. They told me I could get "4 years of protection for free".... all I had to do was give her my full legal name, full address, social security number, and a credit card number.

          I hung up.

              @George-K I used to look at a site called 419eater.com

              419 is the Nigerian law code against internet fraud.

              Anyway, there are some great anti-scam things pulled by people on there.

              Here is an example of a funny one where he gets the scammer to send him wood carvings, etc. LOL

                  Now, George. Last week you got 18 meelyon (and a fucking half!) dollars. That's enough for you. You need to allow me some other deserving person a crack at this prize.

                      They must have a certain percentage of successes otherwise they would not still do it. Hard to imagine, but they must.

                        The "Glitter Booby-Trap" guy did a video exposing some of the call-center frauds in India. It's astonishing how effective these a-holes are. It only takes one email to become profitable, and you can send out millions - basically for free. A total loss of $60 million dollars lost to scammers.
