That's a new one, wow, only marginally worse odds than the real lottery of getting any money :D

 

Did you get that one sent to you? If you forward it with the headers I'll pass it on to the guys that run the lottery...

I've seen that already as it arrives pretty much consistantly in my inbox.

I'm surprised the NL hasn't stopped it yet.

Lotto and the Boss

 

One day, the wife comes home with a spectacular diamond ring.

 

"Where did you get that ring?" her husband asks.

 

"Well, she replies, "my boss and I played the lotto and we won, so I bought it with my share of the winnings.

 

A week later, his wife comes home with a long shiny fur coat.

 

"Where did you get that coat?" her husband asks.

 

She replies "My boss and played the lotto and we won again, so I bought it with my share of the winnings.

 

Another week later, his wife comes home, driving in a red Ferrari.

 

"Where did you get that car?" her husband asks. Again she repeats the same story about the lotto and her share of the winnings.

 

That night, his wife asks him to pour her a nice warm bath while she gets undressed. When she enters the bathroom, she find that there is barely enough water in the bath to cover the plug at the far end.

 

"And this?" she asks her husband. "Well," he replies, "we don't want to get your lotto ticket wet, do we???"

Local news carried a spot on this scam, an elderly gent received the notification by mail, with a check from a moving and storage business from Boston.

 

The station called the the business, it was a legit business that had it's idenity stolen. they had no idea and immediatley shut down all bank accounts.

 

Looks like it caught a few people because several thousand dollars of tranactions had occurred.

 

The old fellow said he became suspicious, because he doesn't gamble, and had not enterd the lottery.

 

:cool:
