Yes, they do.  Sad to say but I heard the story of a couple of people who fell for scams like these last year on a PrimeTime or 20/20 program - don't remember which one!

Nah, not really...I've been living on earth for quite sometime.  I'm familiar with the gullibility of the general populous. ;P

 

Hmm, if the lottery is in Amsterdam do you think you could get your $950,000 in hookers and pot? :CONGRAT:
