  1. I find it funny that you actually receive all of these emails. I use gmail, and their spam filter is AMAZING. All of these messages go straight to my spam folder, never to see the light of day again. If I need a laugh, I can go look at them, but…well…yeah, that never happens. Too much about how I can “better please my woman”…that just makes me laugh.

  2. Emma, what I find hilarious is that all these ‘winning’ e-mails are for Intlxpatr, a pseudonym, not even a real person. That just makes me laugh!

  5. Tiffany – does it sound too good to be true? If it sounds too good to be true, it is highly probable that it is a scam. Scammers rely on people to hope, in spite of probability. Don’t even dignify them with a response 🙂
