Across my forehead??? I just got a letter this mornin from some company outta Toronto claimin I won a $1.25 Mil lottery along with a very authentic lookin check for $4,900 ( to cover the taxes). Thankfully my law enforcement background has made me a very suspicious person. Not to mention the fact that the check is written off a bank in Roselle, IL from a company outta Hatfield, PA. I did alil web investigatin an found that it is indeed a scam. I mean come on!! Who in their right mind wouldn't think that from the get go??? Do people actually fall for this kinda crap?? I think I'll line the kitty box with the letter an the check

I don't get it, either. I mean, if you didn't enter a lottery, how could you win? Those scammers prey on the greedy, the elderly, and the hopeful. Shame on them and may they rot in He11.
