Not been on the forum for a while so mods please forgive me if this has been mentioned before
Not sure how to handle this one.
Would pointing out the wee mistake be educating them?
Should I ask how many puppies are won in the lottery?
Is the lad just very very stupid/lazy?

This is all in one email

Don't point it out. That mail should stop any victim replying, Hopefully he wont realise his mistake and will keep sending it out.

Ah, nothing inspires confidence in a lottery quite so much as a mixup. There was a mix up alright! Laughing

The price of the puppies may go up. I've already bought the three. I then wrote to an imaginary pet supplier telling him how I'd conned the puppy seller, they were worth a lot more. The scammer actually got an ASEM about that. I didn't get the lottery though.

Some people have all the luck.

Puppies, AND the lotto in one email?

I know it would give the game away and educate the lad, but I'd love to see the look on his face if you emailed him claiming the lotto, the puppies, and also asking him if he happens to know of any rich relatives of yours who have died in a plane crash...

I almost watched the lotto draw at the weekend to see if they pulled out puppies with numbers on them
I was SO tempted to write and ask how many puppies my lotto win would bring but decided to leave well alone.

I'm a cat person really

Thats classic!

I have gotten a rash of "rescue my puppies, I am being sent on a church mission to Nigeria" lately. I guess someones idea of a good idea?

At least it's not puppies locked in a secure trunk box.
