“Something” might work, but Italy’s currency is the € and that amount equates to just slightly more than a quarter million €.

Yeah, I didn’t look to see if they were part of the EU that now uses the euro. They used to have the Lire.

Sounds like the Nigerians are being joined by the Dutch. So at what point do they start asking you for your money? How about offering to donate the whole thing to charity. Just subtract the fees from the total, and send it all to UNICEF or whatever.

Bet that won’t work.

19

I did notice in the first winning lottery-type email I received that it didn’t mention anything about my financial contributions to the deal. Different from the Nigeria ones. I suppose it’s a matter of efficiency for the spammer to collect curiosity responses first.

I thought about responding to one of them just to see how far into the deal I had to go before they asked me for money. But it’s not worth my time and effort.

C’mon they aren’t going to ask you for any money. They probably will offer to have the money electronically transfered to your bank account, so that you won’t have to wait for the mail. You lucky S.O.B.
