    It does puzzle me how anyone can even contemplate these emails, the dreadful grammar, the fact that google can't find any place called Ranstiburg :D

    Wonder if www.419eater.com have played along...

    www.419eater.com = my second favourite website!! :cool:

    ive ** out some numbers just incase i have won-but i dont remember entering???:rotfl:
    has anyone else heard of these ppl before?
    any info would be much appreciated, thanks!

    I too received this nasty, evil email. Like you I do hope that we've won a million squid but as somebody has already said "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is" I got this exact same email two days ago...I provided my contact numbers & nothing! after supposedly winning a MILLION QUID!! Whoever is behind these CRUEL and nasty emails (especially when you're on a low income) Deserves a downright GOOD KICKING!!! and I hate violence.

    Thankyou though for posting this or else I like you would be wondering who the hell is behind this evil prank and how did they get our email addresses and what on earth purpose does this whole excercise serve?? BAFFLEING & NOT in the slightest bit funny!!
