How many times are these advertisements going to tell me that I have won a new nintendo! I have won 10 already! Do you fall for this stuff? All this instant flashing posts is such a farce. Do they think people actually believe this stuff. I would imagine that new comers to the internet would tend to believe something like this, but I'm sure it doesn't take them long to find out it's a real hoax, unless you fill out dozens and dozens of other surveys they want you to do.
I wish there was a way I could delete them from coming to my computer. Zap them right out like we are now able to do with telemarketers.

I could not agree with you more. These interruptions in our travels through pay-to-click sites and adventures on the internet are a constant irritation that we can do without. They are false claims and anyone who believes them is a fool or just plain naieve. There are lots of scams out there but none as intrusive and irritating as these "you have won" claims.

I know that these things can be really annoying. Unless they are popups, I don't think there is anyway to block them. They are very silly but yes, I guess and hope that the newcomers to the net will figure out the hoax of it all.

I agree especially since I may have won $1,127,000 or the choice of gold plating my rear end.
Which should I choose????

Geez, I never did get one of those choices! I would've chosen that instead, after all I already have 10 nintendos...lol!

They go directly to spam in my e-mail. I only fell for this about 3 times before i figured it out. I'm a little slow. But these go right along side of my letters from Nigeria.

Right along with those e-mails that say we will be blessed if we forward it to 10 more people! EECH! Thanks for your response!

It is quite annoying.. If I had believed everything that they had sent me, I would be a billionaire right now. LOL! But really, people are still falling for these stuff. That is why they never really disappear, it is because they are still able to get other people to sign their forms and their surveys...
