Just received this email recently announcing that my email address was selected to win this 1.5 Million Euro. My heart beat didn’t even miss a thump, but my adrenalin rushed as I became angry with such old tricks. I am very angry and concerned not for myself, but for those innocent people (esp. elderly ones) who may be cheated of their money, some way or another. Simply put, all they need is one gullible man to believe in them out of the thousands of letters that they sent out.

The email is attached below. Do not send any information to whoever this guy is, just delete the mail. Just like real life, there is no free lunch or “get rich quick” shortcuts on the internet.

Note: I would not bother checking out the owner of tangana.com, nor is my responsibility to investigate. It is possible to forge an email address from a known site, so that the receipient thought that it is from the actual site.
