Not sure what the bit in German at the bottom says, but come on, how stupid do these scammer's really think we are!!!
I hear about this from time to time - people being duped into thinking they've won vast sums of money on a lottery in some country somewhere - that they never bought a ticket for.........HELLO.......although it's really sad because they are normally old or really poor so they believe such things, hoping it will get them out of the financial hole they are in - only to be conned into more debt.....
Anybody else had this or similar....??
Cheers,
