Here's an email about me winning the lottery in Europe when I didn't even play the lottery. It is so nice the scammers can enter me into fake lotteries, provide a link to show the numbers I played that won, and all of the winnings showing I'm the exclusive person entitled to fake money. I'll give the scammers an "A" for effort...or is it "E" for effort.
