Just been informed that I've won 1.7 million Euros in an Austrian lotto that
requires no purchase. Limited to Austrians, of course, but...

What I'd like to know is WHY do I have to share the 50 million Euro grand
prize with 29 others?

Are Austrians the new Nigerians?

WOW !

I started getting the same messages 3 days after subscribing to this
NG. I wonder if that lotto is another symptom of having Google Groups?

Proud to say I actually got a porno solicitation in this morning's spam.
Seems I get the Viagra, Ponzi schemes, fake Rolex and penny stock stuff, but
never anything good.

What was described in the text kept me from checking the URL.

I was in that batch that failed to say no when Yahoo had a privacy change of
heart. Spammers are like the Energizer bunny.

I wanna win the Polish million dollar lottery. $1 a year for a million
years.

As soon as your email address hits the web it's just a matter of time before
the spam comes. These guys use "robots" to scour the web looking for email
addresses from just about anywhere (forums, groups, sites, etc....). It's
highly recommended that you "munge" your address when posting to public
forums. Check out this. It's old but it'll get you started....

That's what I love about European lotteries: they're so economical. Even I can
afford to win.

Or use a "throwaway" account. See my address - I visit there once or
twice a week and do a quick scan - I get about four valid messages a
year and 50-100 spams a day.

Can't think of the name right now, but my ISP runs an excellent
spam/anti-virus program. I see maybe 2 or 3 spam per week, usually a new one
they haven't blacklisted yet, but I very seldom see them a second time. Just
looked @ the quarantine file on their site, 183 messages from 1/9 & 1/10.
They keep me happy.

Too Berlinische. Austrians would pronounce it more like 'Isch'.
