If you even for a second or so had your hopes up for ghe grand prize of 1 million Euros in the so-called Loteria EuroBote, I’m sorry to say, I won too. And isn’t it strange? I think this is the tenth lottery I won this year…
Techniqually speaking it was Drinkalizer.com that won, since the email address must have been harvested from the Drinkalizer.com site.
Update: Lance Smith answered the scammers! They seem to settle for 745 dollars, and the full process took over a week. See his mail exchange here.
