I have a close personal friend whose parents won the Readers Digest $5,000,000 prize about 15 years ago.

He told me he had been to Dillards that day to buy a suit, because he was going to New York with his parents. Two days later I find out he was flown out on a private jet by RD.

I had to read about the prize in the newspaper. I gave him hell when he got back, but he said he was sworn to secrecy.

Closest I got to winning anything.

Or maybe this is the scam
More scams against seniors renew warnings A recent case involved a Delco couple who were told they had won the Canadian lottery. Caution is urged.

By Barbara Boyer

Inquirer Staff Writer


It seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime when a Norwood couple were told the $26 they had invested in a Canadian lottery was now worth $7.5 million.

All they had to do was pay the taxes and processing fees up front, the Delaware County couple said yesterday.

After losing $11,289 and waiting all night for the man with a steel briefcase to deliver the cash, the couple, who requested their names be withheld, realized they had been swindled and called police Thursday.

"The guy seemed so sincere," said the 68-year-old retiree. "It seemed like the chance of a lifetime, I guess."

That same day, Haverford police received a call from a concerned citizen that an 80-year-old man was trying to wire $2,850 to a Canadian address.

"If not for this woman's intervention, he would have sent the money," Haverford Detective Alan Ross said.

From the desk of: Dr.Frank Eze
Executive Director/Financial Controller
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC)
Falomo Office Annex
Lagos Nigeria

Dear Sir,

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

I am the financial controller of Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation
(NNPC). I got your Contact address from an associate working with the
Nigerian Export Promotion Council. I and my colleagues are ministry
officials in charge of offshore remittance in this Corporation (NNPC).
We
are seeking your assistance to transfer of Forty Two Million
(US$42,000,000.00) to your account for further private investment.

Please note that the nature of your job/business does not matter and
you
will be better informed when I hear from you.

This amount accrued from an over-invoiced contract amount for the
construction of an Oil Refinery Sub-stations in Nigeria in 1995 to
expatriate companies.The contract was originally valued for one
Hundred and Twenty Seven Million United States Dollar
US$127,000,000.00) but
we manipulated the figure to read one Hundred and Sixty Nine Million
United
states Dollars($169,000,000.00) The extra $42,000,000.00 is what we
want to
transfer to your account.

This contract has been completely executed and the original contractors
have
been paid all their contract bills less this $42,000,000.00 For your
assistance, we have agreed to remunerate you with 30% because it is
impossible for us to claim the amount here in Nigeria without foreign
collaboration. 5% has been mapped out for any miscellaneous expenses
incurred by either party during this business, and 65% for my
colleagues and
myself.

It may interest you to know that four years ago, a similar transaction
was
carried out with one Mr.Patrice Miller, the President of Craine
International Trading Corporation at number 135 East 57th Street, 28th
floor,New York.10022 with Tel: 212-308-7788 and TLX number6731689. Mr.
Patrice disappeared into thin air when he received the money. His
Telephone
and Telex numbers had been reallocated to other users by the time we
arrived
New York for our share. This explains exactly why we will make a
concrete
agreement between you and us,should you be willing to assist in this
deal.

All modalities to effect the payment and subsequent transfer of this
money
have been worked out. This transaction is 100% risk free but rquires
100
percent confidentiality. This is a golden pportunity which must not be
allowed to slip out of any careless acts and utterances. We chose you
for
this transaction because we believe that good friends can be discovered
and
businesses such as this cannot be realized without trust. You can be
rest
assured that your security has been considered before you were
contacted.

Upon the reciept of this mail message, feel free to send to me the
following, to enable us start the process:

1. Your full Names and contact address.
2. Your private telephone and fax numbers.

Thanks and best regards in anticipation of your response.

Best Regards,

Dr.Frank Eze

Wow. The hospital where I work part time is just 35 miles northeast of Smithfield and heck, you are only 3 hours from the Whites (3 1/2 from Franconia Notch).

Hey Pete - next weekend I'm organizing a two day backpack on the AT/LT in Vermont with 6 people committed right now. Its only 18 fairly easy miles and we are meeting in Bennington to position cars - that probably less than 3 hours. On the off chance that you can get away, it would be great to hike with you.

And, if you ever come up to the Boston area - I'll buy you a beer and show you around.

Hey, I won $10.00 on the Super California Lottery from Sat night. I got 3 #'s. I turned it around on another ticket. Maybe this is the big one. Not! But $10.00 is $10.00.
