We all know that there are phishing emails from Paypal and Alertpay floating about and then there are those emails which make you think "Oh, so why me out of billions of people to collect this persons so called millions of dollars
."
Now I don't know if anyone has encountered this one before, but it surely is the first time I encountered it and thought that I should share it with you all on myLot, just in case
.
But who are they trying to fool?! Surely not me! and definitely don't let it be you.
Have a good night all.
