I just can’t understand why some lottery scammers think that I would believe that someone would pick my e-mail address and assign it to a number, then randomly pick that number and try to send me 650 thousand Euros. But it looks like ”Mrs Susan De Meer” or whatever her real name is, thinks I will fall for it.
I won’t of course, since I have no wish to send in a registration fee and then be ditched. What I will do, as I always do when receiving these lottery scam mails, is to publish it in hope that someone will search for the contents in the mail before sending in any money.
