from my Junk Folder

Happy Holiday Season Everyone!

I was going through my Junk Email folder today and saw the following:

Facebook Board Regulatory proudly brings to your notice that your
E-MAIL ID has won the sum of Five Million United States Dollars
($5,000,000.00USD) value in the organized Facebook Program.

Wow - congratulations!

Once my money arrives from the Nigerian Prince maybe we will meet up in Paris or something!

 

[EddMarkStarr]

It's like an email from a grade school kid - $5 million!

Maybe there's a winner of $5 gazillion!

Oh, I was all excited. I thought you had a folder full of pictures of guys' junk.

That seems excessive. I'd be more interested in the modest sums awarded by the disorganized Facebook Program.

To claim my prize the rest of the email requested my personal information: full name, street address, social security id, banking information; the usual!

We have plenty of media outlets that cover high dollar contests and giveaways.
If Facebook has a lottery it would be drawing tons of coverage from legacy media and online news sources.
