Lottery Winning Scam Letter

This morning when I went to check my mail, I found a letter postmarked Granada. My first thought “I don’t know anybody in Spain, WTF am I getting a letter from there? Is it one of those scam things?”

Come back home – open up the letter and guess what? I’ve won something in the euro millione (that’s the spelling in the letter) lottery.

And as proof, a piece of paper with fuzzy pictures that are so obviously copy-pasted in word and then printed out using a laser printer.

There is a reference to a Ministry d Economic y Hacienda (The Economics Ministry of the House?? WTF??) and obviously I have to keep this secret.

Finally, obviously, a form I have to fill up and return after which the claim can be “processed”.. :) )

I had a good laugh this morning I can tell you that. I only worry about how these buggers got hold of my postal address.. hm?
