Is this a scam?
- 9-11-2008
- Categorized in: Blogs
If you ever found our site while checking if you just received a scam, then the answer is "Yes". What else do you think you can find at HotScams.com? Perfect, well-proven, get-rich-quick schemes, or that million dollar from some dead people are real and waiting for You to collect?
Oh, wake up! No one in the history of mankind has ever won any large sum of money from such crappy emails. Lottery wins, dead-man's money (419 scams), etc, are all fake.
You are not going to be the first to prove this wrong, because many have already lost their money. And if you trust those mails, you will be joining in the same group of gullible people.
Don't believe me, we have thousands of examples on our site for you to try on. I could have been rich myself, probably richer than Bill Gates, simply by telling you that they are all scams but claim the money for myself.
Ofcourse, there are much more scams on the web than just 419 scams, lottery scams. There are also lots of love scams, job scams, pyramid scams, and more.
Scams is an illegal business. It is a business where stupid greedy people make money from gullible greedy people.
