Do you know where Oceania is?
To tell the truth, I don't either.
The website under www.lottomoney does not look all that professional. This leads me to believe that this is a special site made for the purpose of fooling people into believing that this is a legal and serious company. I will do some research into the domain name and keep you posted.

Oceania is from the book "1984"
Interesting web site here. I don't exactly know what to think of it. Most people with blogs like yours are scammers themselves, to some extent. I just don't know what to think about a blog like this that is about scammers... It's almost like your breaking some unwritten law by not being one. Although you may still have some angle. Of course, I couldn't rule out that you really are just a nice person putting all these letters up here.

P.S. Have you ever been spammed by the "juicy fruiter"?
Yes, I read George Orwells "1984" some years ago. I used to live near the river from which he took his last name. Those days I was your age if I remember rightly.
1984 was years in the future and, with the world being as it was then, it was a very "dark" prophesy of the how our world could develop.
About your thoughts on my not being a scammer. This is the first time anyone has even considered that. At least you give me the benfit of the doubt.
I have been following the scammer scene for almost 10 years now. In that time I have met and spoken to a lot of victims. I have even spoken to some of the scammers themselves.
There are many others who also invest time and money to try and do something to prevent this kind of crime, or at least make life harder for the scammers. So I wouldn't put them all into the same basket.
On the other hand, it pays to be skepticle if the deal is too good to be true. So your comment is ok.
By the way, I like your photo blog.
