How stupid do they think I am???

Got another one of those scam emails the other day saying that I’d won the Lottery. They must think people are stupid. Why do people fall for this???

I mean the English is appalling for a start, and they obviously can’t afford a spell checker. Another big clue is the fact there using a “Yahoo” email address. If this was really from the “National Lottery” surely they’d have their own email addresses!

The basic message in this email is, please give me all your personal details so that we can take as much money as possible from you and your bank account!!!
