Fresh in today. I have won again!

Yes, it's amazing how this type of scam has continued to be. Considering most people are interested in winning in a lottery, it's not surprising that the African boys are pushing it more and more.

They are not the only ones who are vying for the lottery players money. For example, here in Germany the German Post has gone into cooperation with Faber, a well known lottery system company (completely legal, of course). As the most post offices have offered lottery tickets for some time now, it's just a natural extension of their services.

The difference is, that if you win you get the prize and your decision to take part is made before hand. Not so with our African friends who say that you have taken part without your knowledge and, of course, they are only interested in getting your money.
