Wooohooo! I just won $550,000.- Google User Reward. SCAM

[lind9650]

Just got an official looking and sounding email from GOOGLE that I won a $550,000.- Google User Award.

Asan incentive to keep their customers using their site, they are randomly selecting receipients for their 11st Birthday Give-away.

The letter looks very professional. No spelling mistakes, very eloquent english.

Please, if you get one of those emails, DO NOT REPLY or open any links.

I should be so lucky.

But I am not stupid.

Claim it, and pay for some of us to go to Melbourne next week to meet you. And you get to pay the bill for the meals.

If I really won that much money I would certainly pay for your fare and for some others. Like a lot of us, I could do with a little extra, and I mean a little. Have never been materialistic or greedy and selfish, but alas, I was not born under a lucky star. I am grateful to have a roof over my head, enough to eat, some clothes to wear and enough to pay all the bills.

I would never fall for a scam like that. My children warned me about scams when I got my first computer in 2001

Such is life.

Yes, please... 

would a nice hotel room and air fare be too much to ask?

I am a bit fussy who I share rooms with.
