Hello,
its really nice to know that you have inserted this article about the Google Email Lottery scam. I have also notified the government of Greece to look into this scam .
Its sad to see that these people have become desperate for the money. I say– Earn it by dishwashing not theft.. you will never be happy.
thanks for your proactiveness.It saves the internet from becoming bad .

GOOGLE EMAIL LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL SCAM
The GOOGLE EMAIL LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL scam email shown below claims that the recipient has won money in an international lottery. The email is an attempt to initiate a dialogue with potential victims and subsequently trick them into sending money to the scammers responsible. There is no “GOOGLE EMAIL LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL” and no prize money.
