british lottery scam
danny_galaga:
Yeah, there are charity lotteries here too. I regularly buy the $50 MS tickets. and the RSL (retired services league) is more pricey than a regular lottery too. Funny, i got my dad into the RSL lottery even though he always thought it was a scam. After only two tickets, he won 10 grand!

There's been an auto dialer calling random people telling them the manufacturer's warranty on their car was expiring and for just a few dollars they can have it extended through this company.
Apparently a lot of people just assumed it was legit and signed up for it. It was so bad that the government had to get involved to stop the company from advertising that way.

I also have a lottery organisation set up! It is called the BYOAC lottery! There are some fantastic prizes! You can see them HERE.
All YOU need to do is send me £25!...

My company receives a lot of "invoices" that are not realy invoices. These really look like invoices but somewhere (in small print) it says that it's an offer to which you agree by paying. They tend to mimic the style of regular invoices that every company pays (phonebook, chamber of commerce fees)
Twice people called me that they had my requested order for business paper ready with my logo on it. They only needed my signature so they could send it to me. If I could put that on the fax. One wonders how many people are that stupid that they fall for something like that. They got quite agressive when I told them I hadn't ordered anything and that they would have my signature already if I actually did order something.
It's just amazing how many scams they try.
To be honest, the biggest scam is when you can win a TV (or something small) when you send an SMS (text message). They collect millions from that nonsense and pay out a TV!

I always enter the competition on the gadget show just because the prizes are ridiculous. There may be only a tiny chance of winning it but if you ain't in it, you can't win it.
One of my college mates won it one week, he got the phone call whilst we was in class. Lucky ---smurf--- got £17,000 worth of gadgets.
