I won a lottery! Yay!
Previously, I’ve mentioned that one of the things I really want was to strike a lottery… and guess what? I really won! hahaha.. in my dreams that it… Here is an e-mail that I received a couple of days back and it’s just too good to be true isn’t it? USD250,000.00!!!
If you read the e-mail… it’s sad that the scammer can’t even write with proper grammar… ok ok… perhaps my command of English isn’t that excellent either but I still can spot the obvious mistakes. lolz… At the end of the e-mail, there’s even a phone number attached and I’m not sure if it’s the scammer’s number or if it just belongs to a poor soul which I’ve been prank calling for the past few days… hahaha… I just wanted to test if the number is real but I never did really talked to the other guy on the line.
Now, how I wish if this was real? hahaha… what will I do with USD250,000.00 (that’s close to ONE million ringgit!)??? Hmmmm…
