FAILED ATTEMPTS TO SCAM ROTTERS

SCANDALS

- reported by Osiris.

While we were restructuring the company, we checked our email and recevied two emails claiming that we had won some lottery.

Ah Fatt was delighted at the news and was about to type in his credit card number to complete the wire transaction when an alert Da Vinci stopped him just before the very chee-bye Singapore correspondent could hit the 'SEND" button.

Here are the email scams. If you receive similar messages just put them into your trash immediately. Do not ever give any stranger your credit card number.

Actually come to think of it, Da Vinci should have let Ah Fatt learn an important lesson. So remember readers, you never win something which you never take part in, and you never send money over to claim your prize.
