Default I WON THE LOTTERY!!

The UK Lottery!!

Last week I got this stupid scam saying I won some UK lottery and they wanted me to provide them my full info. So naturally I responded with:

Full name: Gotu He||
Address: 123 Uramoron Ave.
etc.

I won the lottery again yesterday too, and they asked for my info. I replied:

Give me your personal information first and I'll give you mine....

Yeah, that'* what I thought.
Well this guy must be REALLY stupid since he replied this morning:

Dear Winner,

NAME:
ADDRESS:

COUNTRY:

OCCUPATION:

Congratulations From me.

It said that I won 1,000,000 and that I needed to send them all of that info as well. Idiots.

I responded with this:

Hi Lucy,

I'd like to fill this out as this is a lot of money, but tell me, how did I win a lottery I never enrolled for?
I hope she/he replies, because I'm going to give out fake info and the rejection hotline phone number. lol

nice avatar by the way
Thanks

I had one saying that I had 1.2 billion dollars in unclaimed funds in San Luis Obispo, CA that I needed to claim within a week. They wanted my full name, address, SSN, Ph#, and one credit card including the PIN number on the back to prove my identity. So I gave them this -

Name: Dick Harry
Address: 123 A$$clown Drive, iPod, Ohio
SSN (I just put all letters like this) - AFC-FA-ASDV
Credit card info ^ditto^ - What-doyu-thnk-iama-idiot? PIN# - A$$

They actually asked for your SSN with a credit card and PIN?!! I feel really bad for the naive people who actually fall for that.

The UK lottery ones don't ask for that, but with the info they want they could find out other things.
