Siamo alle solite: le solite notifiche di vincite di lotterie. E quali potevano essere se non le banali lotterie legate all’estrazione di indirizzi email?

Ma vi immaginate qualcuno che "estrae" degli indirizzi email? Ne tira fuori uno e quel tale ha vinto la bellezza di un milione di euro? Un milione di euro! E come e da chi viene finanziata questa ridicola lotteria?

Facciamoci due risate col testo del messaggio:

E il bello è che, dopo diverso tempo, qualche anno, che questi messaggi truffa giravano, ha cominciato a parlarne anche il programma televisivo Striscia la Notizia, con Moreno Morello che ingaggiava una corsa coi truffatori presi in castagna.
Quindi a questo punto mi chiedo: o i signori truffatori non vedono Striscia, o sono talmente stupidi da pensare che esista ancora qualcuno che crede alle loro frottole.

Ora spedisco un’email per reclamare la mia fantomatica vincita. Nell’attesa di una risposta vi lascio nella più completa suspence…
