Well, I AM the luckiest person IN THE WORLD. I have just won the lottery and I never even bought a ticket. This is the first time I have ever heard of winning the lottery by simply having an e-mail address.
This one got kind-of nasty. Mr. Frank didn't like the fact that I pointed out how poor his math skills were. I really expected him to give me the full amount, but he continuously refused. It was like he forgot that he was a SCAMMER!!!
But, it was still fun.
Characters:
Scammer: Mr Mahommed Dafo and Clems Frank
Me: Mr. Hugh G. Reckshun (super-excited winner)
Here's our story...

Author note: WOW! You can send these guys just about anything and you will get approved.
But, there's just one problem. Let's see what they have to say about the following...
________________________________________
Mr. Frank,
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I am SUPER-HAPPYRIFICAL that everything is approved and we are on our way to RICHNESS and HAPPINESS!
I have looked over your fees and find them to be OK. I'm sure this is nothing more than legal requirements and formalities. Do you think I should hire a lawyer here in the United States? I bet I could hire Judy Judge or someone I saw on Law and Order.
But, I do have one problem. I was told that I was 1 of 8 winners of $1.8 BILLION dollars. That was BILLION...you know, with a BIG, FAT, 'B'! I was also told that my share was $800,000. Now, I'm aware that $800,000 is a LOT of money. I'm aware that this is FREE money because I never purchased a ticket. I am also aware that I did VERY BAD work in my math classes (because I was always staring at Hazel Shacklebolt...she was HOT!) But, FAIR is FAIR!
I just used my computer calculator and calculated what 1/8 of the total pot is and my electronic calculation comes out to $225,000,000! I think someone is getting greedy and it's NOT me!
Before I pay ANY legal fees, I would like for you to find out who grossly miscalculated my winnings and let me know the outcome.
I'm sorry that someone is clearly going to be fired, but this is way more serious than missing a comma.
I look forward to hearing from you post haste.
Your Somewhat-Happy Short-changed Lottery Winner,
Hugh

Hello,
We received your mail in good faith and here is the answer to your question,
Let me start by telling you once again that you did not purchase any ticket or any rifle that make you the right beneficiary of the huge amount.
Therefore the $1.8 BILLION dollars is not just for the 8 selected people in Africa region rather the money was divided to many regions like in Asia Europe and other regional area. Furthermore Australia lottery which is the head office of the lottery made it clear that all the lucky winners must follow the instruction before he or she will get the prize.
At this juncture we advice you to claim your prize with out any delay so that it will enable us to transfer your winning prize immediately.
Thanks.
Clems Frank.
________________________________________
Mr. Frank,
I am sending this message in GOOD FAITH too, but I am NOT happy with your response!
I realize I did not purchase a ticket, but YOU contacted ME! In that initial message YOU said that I was 1 of 8 people to win the $1.8 BILLION pot. Nothing was said about this being shared in other countries. Plus, as an American citizen, I am INSULTED that the Australia lottery included Asia and Europe but did not include the United States of America.
Has the United States insulted the Australian Lottery!?! Does the Australian Lottery NOT like the United States?!? If so, I'm hesitant to claim this money. Believe me when I say that both I and my girlfriend WANT this money. We have even gone so far as to withdraw the required fees from our savings account!
I am ready to pay the fees RIGHT NOW, but I believe that I am entitled to the $225,000,000 which is 1/8th of the $1.8 BILLION prize! I'm VERY upset because I CANNOT QUIT MY JOB NOW!!! How would that make YOU feel if you had your heart set on going into your boss's office, steal all of his pens, and tell him YOU QUIT, but can't because some GREEDY lottery board person is being mean!?!
Believe me when I tell you that I am not being greedy! I simply want what is entitled TO ME based on your initial message! I believe it is YOU who are being greedy here! You are being greedy...and mean!
I WILL NOT PAY THE REQUIRED FEE'S UNTIL I AM AWARDED THE $225,000,000!!!
Your NON-GREEDY, UPSET, UNITED STATES CITIZEN LOTTERY WINNER!
Hugh

Author note: I think they are getting mad at me. So, I wanted to let them know that I hold some cards that they don't. The best way to do this is to let them know there is some competition (and there was). I received 3 messages stating that I was a LOTTERY winner!!! I had 2 others from the Australian Lottery Commission and 1 from the London Lottery Commission. I'm a VERY lucky man.
________________________________________
Mr. Frank,
I truly hope to hear from you within the next 24 hours. I have received a message from the London Lottery Commission that I have won $2,000,000! I am willing to give you one final chance to review the award that I AM SUPPOSED TO GET.
If I do not hear from you I will send my $3,000 for THEIR licensing and transfer fees. I have the initial fees prepared for you to receive.
If I hear that you are willing to re-negotiate my winning amount, and we come to an agreeable number, I will continue with you. If not, I will work with the London Lottery Commission.
It's up to you.
Hugh
________________________________________
Mr. Frank,
Believe me when I tell you that I am STILL unhappy about the SEVERE reduction in the winning amount. I will also be revisiting it later.
I am willing to pay items 1 and 2, but I will NOT pay 3 until there is resolution to MY satisfaction. I also cannot use Western Union to transfer the money. All of the Western Union offices have gone out of business. I am going to use Moneygram instead.
Here is my information to (at least) get the ball rolling.
Senders Name: Hugh G. Reckshun
Receivers Name: Mr. Amadi Uchechi
Amount Sent: $1,830.00
Question: Why are you so greedy?
Answer: Because I suck!
Control Number: I will give you the control number WHEN we have reached an amicable agreement!
I assure you, the money is waiting for Mr. Amadi Uchechi. Once we have reached an agreement on the lottery winning, I will release it to you.
If I do NOT hear from you within 36 hours, I will retrieve my money and tell everyone that you are GREEDY and MEAN!
Good Day!
Hugh

Hello,
why are you delaying asking question that is not important in claiming your prize.
If you are interested in claiming your prize just follow the
instruction and make the payment.
The ball is on your side

Author note: Now, it's time to dangle some MORE money at them...
________________________________________
Mr. Frank,
Clearly one of two things is happening here:
1. You cannot do math and cannot admit it
2. You are trying to cheat me out of my proper winning amount.
In my WINNING e-mail message from YOU, it stated that there were 8 winners of a $1.8 Billion Dollar prize. As I have stated repeatedly 1/8th of 1.8 Billion dollars is NOT $800,000! It is $225,000,000!
I have asked you to check why there is such a discrepancy and you responded by telling me that the Australian Lottery does business with Asia and Europe. NOT the United States!!! I am an AMERICAN!!!
I am NOT being greedy! I simply want my FAIR SHARE of the $1.8 Billion Dollar prize!!! To prove this, I will accept $200,000,000 instead of the full 225,000,000.
I think that is fair!
I went to the Moneygram office today to send the full amount of all FEES. That is a total of $2,930.00!!
Once we have come to an agreement on MY winning amount, I will give you the Control Number to retrieve the money.
Senders Name: Hugh G. Reckshun
Receivers Name: Mr. Amadi Uchechi
Amount Sent: $2,930.00
Question: Why are you so greedy?
Answer: Because I suck!
Control Number: I will give you the control number WHEN we have reached an amicable agreement!
I assure you, the money is waiting for Mr. Amadi Uchechi.
If you get back to me with a valid WINNING AMOUNT I will release it to you. If not, I will accept the London Lottery offer!
Sincerely,
Hugh

Why are you being so disrespectful!? I am sending my messages in good faith, but you keep telling me to STOP ASKING QUESTIONS.
You have NOT explained in DETAIL why the $1.8 Billion Dollar prize is splinted to be $800,000!
I am happy (as an American citizen) that the United States is held in good favor with the Australian Lottery Commission. I was beginning to wonder why they would not like us anymore. Now, that I understand it was all a misunderstanding CAUSED BY YOUR LACK OF DETAIL, I feel much better.
As I have stated, I AM interested in claiming MY prize. Yet, you MUST explain to me how 1/8th of $1.8 Billion Dollars equals $800,000. As I have stated repeatedly, I AM NOT GREEDY! I simply want what is truly 1/8th of the $1.8 Billion Dollar prize.
If you can successfully explain this to me, I will release the Control Number so that Mr. Uchmimi can retrieve the $2,930.00 legal fees.
I will give you 24 hours before I consider this to be a lost cause and accept the offer from the London Lottery Commission.

Your SOON-TO-BE FED UP Lottery Winner

Therefore we have received information why you own prize is more than
what it supposed to be.
Now you prize was added the sum us$575000 as a preference because you
are the first person that was selected before others moreover I have
told you that America was not excluded.
I hope you are satisfied with my answer now immediately we receive the
payment information we also ask for your account information to enable

Mr. Frank,
Thank you for your response. You are correct about how I am 'not folding my hands'. If anything, I am holding my hands. You might even say that I am clenching my hands. Sometimes I am waving my hands trying to get YOUR attention. At night I even use my hands to make shadow puppets, but that is an entirely different conversation for a completely different time!
Before I release the Control Number to you, I want to make sure we are communicating efficiently. From what I have gathered from your last message, you are telling me that you have contacted the Australian Lottery Commisar and they have awarded me an ADDITIONAL $575,000.
If so, my award will now be $800,000 + $575,000 = $1,375,000. Is this correct?
You are also informing me that the United States was NOT left out of the Australian Lottery Commissary area of award. Is this correct?
I only wish to clarify that we are TRULY working together as one, faithful, common, unified togethernessness.
Sincerely,
Your CLARIFICATION-REQUESTING Lottery Winner

Mr. Frank,
You have given me NOTHING!!!
In your initial message telling me that I was a WINNER, you specifically stated that I was 1 of 8 winners of a $1.8 BILLION dollar prize! BILLION sir! Not MILLION!
After reviewing my calculations (USING A CALCULATOR!!), I informed you that $800,000 is NOT 1/8th of $1.8 BILLION dollars! As I have ALSO informed you, 1/8th of $1.8 BILLION dollars is really $225 MILLION dollars!
You then told me how this total pot of $1.8 BILLION dollars was spread throughout the world. But YOU are still MISSING the point that it was spread to 8 lucky individuals - which I am SUPPOSED to be 1.
You have still NOT given me a good reason why this is so.
Yesterday you told me something about $575,000. I assumed that you spoke to Mr. Australia and got an additional award. Now you are telling me that my REAL lottery winning was a MERE $225,000!!!!!
WHAT IS GOING ON MR. FRANK!?!
I have stated again and again that I WANT this money. I have stated again and again that I NEED this money. Now, I will state that this money will bring me financial freedom.
Mr. Frank, I am not a greedy man. I simply want what is 1/8 of $1.8 BILLION dollars (in case you forgot, that is $225,000,000). I am more than happy to pay MORE legal fees to transport the additional money. I would expect that there are more legal proceedings for such a LARGE amount of money.
But, as an AMERICAN WINNER, I feel that you are giving me the "Royal Rumpshaker Gimme"!
Please let me know when my winning amount is increased and what the legal fees will be for such a large amount of money.
Sincerely,
Your COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED Lottery Winner Hugh

You should not get disgusted with my attitude because you are the one holding your self, you must follow the process before we will release your prize to you and you should not expect us to force you in claiming your prize.

Mr. Frankie,
There you go again. You blame everyone but yourself. Oh, as far as you are concerned, you can do nothing wrong. I send you scanned copies of my Moneygram receipt, and you cannot open it. I'm sure you haven't thought about checking your computer have you?!?
I am scanning another copy of the receipt. I hope that you are competent enough to open this one. Personally, I think YOU are the one holding out. But, I am an honest man. I am a good man. I am a manly man. Therefore, I can overlook your disqualifications.
Here is the information from the Moneygram office. They said that there were 2 numbers that were switched:
Senders Name: Hugh G. Reckshun
Receivers Name: Mr. Amadi Uchechi
Amount Sent: $2,930.00
Question: Why are you only getting $800K
Answer: Mr. Frank can't do simple math!
Control Number: 46962456
Please retrieve the money so you can release the money so I can spend the money.
Your COMPLETELY FED UP WITH YOUR DISENTITLE Hugh

Hello,
I hope you are not trying to insult my personality here or make fun of your self; your prize is still optional you can decide not to claim your prize.
Therefore if you know what is good for you go to the money gram office and correct with the control number they gave to you, moreover the information you sent is still the same with the formal one.
At this juncture we urge you to claim your prize before it is too late for you.
Clems Frank.

Mr. Frank-en-furter,
If you are looking at the Control Number in the subject line of the message then I have every right to insult your personality. The new control number is in the body of the message.
Please check it again.
Not Sincerely,
Your TIRED-OF-HOLDING-YOUR-HAND LOTTERY WINNER Hugh
