I win something via email

In reply to I’m a winner!
about ten times per week. At least. I don’t even open them, just empty the suspicious mail folder after making sure no one I want to hear from is in there.
Hmmm… I did win $3 on Powerball yesterday. 😀

It also somehow managed to bypass the spam filters and make it to the in-box. That’s what surprised me most.

Either they’ll want your ATM card and PIN numbers, just so they can do a direct deposit, or they’ll need you to send them a couple of hundred pounds to cover tax and wire transfer costs.

In reply to Introduction
Once you stay for very long, you get addicted and can never leave. Well, not without intervention anyway.
😉
Besides, we have enough ‘Bills’ here already.
😀If you must stay… a few words of caution… beware of those bearing shovels.

Thanks for the heads up!

Uh-Oh
by w2ktechman · about 15 years, 6 months ago
In reply to Addicted
We gotta lookout now! He looks like he’s gonna stay :0 :0
Since you appear to wanna stay with the loon club, a few more pieces of advice.
If you run across The BALTHOR — dont freak out. Also, you may get slammed if you attack BALTHOR cause most of us like s/he/it anyway. You will know when you run into The BALTHOR.
If you happen accross a thread about hacking/cracking/stealing, etc.. And Scummy responds (the Scummy One, Pond Scum, ScumDog, etc.) (my alter ego :^0 so I’ve been told :0 ) do not follow his advice, it will leave you with a trashed system or certain death.
However usually I/we are harmless :^0Most of us like to have a bit o fun here, so you may find humor in the strangest place. If you have a sense of humor, you should get along, well, at least as well as some of us others :0
I hope I didnt scare ya away, a new mind to twist is always welcome

Hi Nick,
You poor bar$tard. You obviously don’t move in the right circles.
I’ve just checked my junk folder and have won 16 draws, totalling about 13.5 million (don’t know what currency, though a lot are GBPs and Euros) in just the last WEEK.
