Here's the e-mail that I just received:

If the character flaw that allows idiots like that to exist were not a part of the human condition, there would be no need for, among other things, websites like FreeRepublic.com. The idiocy that prompts one to believe in this email Lotto scam is not very much different than the idiocy that causes one to vote for bozo's like John F'ing Kerry.

Hi there ,
I just recieved this kind of email (the same email but with another name for the "finance agent" ) .
I want to know about it so I search with the keyword Euro Wins Program ... Therefore I came here .
It's innocent to believe this kind of things . However , the money really excited me . But I am sure I am not stupid to claim them my bank account number and password . Or I claim , but with my account that I have not used for a long time (no money there) . Keke .
What do you think about Nigerian ? These kinds of decievers really make the image of the country become even more dirty than Chinese .
I'm sure she does!
Wow, cool! And all you have to do is provide them unfettered access to your bank account! (Is MR. ONAS OMAR from Nigeria, by chance?) ;o)
I won the Netherland Lotery also but I'm not going to follow up until I finish settling my long lost cousin's 25 million estate who recently died in South Africa.
Welcome to Free Republic, Keke. Do not give them even an empty account number. You have too much personal information tied to that account.
