scammer: Hello, How you doing today? I am so happy because I finally got my £50,000.00 Cheque from the Power ball Lottery Company. They gave me the money for a Deaf/Hearing support and its apart of measure and to compensate the few people that was selected from Facebook Random selection program on this website from the listed countries: Canada,Australia,United States, United Kingdom, Asia, Europe, Middle East and Oceania and have already gotten my check, But when they brought my check i saw your name on the Power ball list when am about to sign and that why am letting you known now before it will be late., I wonder if you get your cheque yet because I ask, they told me they will bring cheque to you too because you also win. So that why am emailing you to let you know, did you get your own yet? You can contact agent Donald Allen on ( [email protected] / [email protected] / [email protected] or Call +447031866310 ) , So you can also receive your payment cheque.

me: maga chop ya dolla

Suddenly 'she' has stopped messaging me. My heart just bleeds... NOT!

Well, now to go through the friend list and warn others of the scam, just in case any of them aren't aware of what's up.

Report the user as well, for good measure.

"They gave me the money for a Deaf/Hearing support."

Tell them you're blind and ask if they will help you. Get them thinking...

I once told a scammer I was alergic to keyboards. He asked how I was using the computer (bright lad) and I told him I use a broomstick to bash the keys. He accepted that explanation fine.

^^^ hahaha yeah.. they will accept just about anything if they think there is money coming to them. Still makes it amusign for the rest of us.

As for reporting the scammers that are on my one facebook.. I do.. however, I like to go through their friends list and warn others. I don't like to block most of them right away for that very reason.

Looks like, from the replies I've received, that this is a straight forward lotto lad plus phishing attempt.

Yeah, in fact, I finally just figured out my email password to get a new password sent to me to re-activate my account. Smile
