Can you believe my amazing luck?!!

And to think... My silly email program stuck this very important email in my Spam folder! I might have missed out on my US$950,000.00 if I hadn't chanced to check my Spam folder just to make sure an old friend hadn't sent me an email.

But wait, there's something puzzling that I don't understand...

It appears this blogger received the EXACT SAME EMAIL.

Hmm...

Puzzling. Especially since we both seem to have the exact same winning lottery numbers, and the exact same serial number (an item that one would imagine would be unique)!

But wait a minute...

The URL up above says it's linking to www.canada.com/blahblahblah, and yet if you click on the link it takes you to www2.canada.com/blahblahblah.

Why would the URL, the link that's going to reassure me this isn't the latest variation on the old International Lottery Scam say it's taking me to one site, but actually take me to another?

Curious...

Anyway, I'd better contact my Agent in Spain before time runs out!

;P

Btw, I'm not supposed to tell anyone about my winnings until after I've claimed my prize, so sshhhhhhh...
