I'm a winner again please congratulate me I'm getting so much money I really would like to share with all of you my friends here at hubpages... At last count I should have about )601,293.5 millions (601,293,500,000.89) all in USdollars and SterlingPounds and Nigerian what-ya-may-call-it's and HongKong dollars. (plus 89 cents my adsense earnings from last night) I've accumulated all this wealth within the last three months. I assume because I'm so great that I am going to stay the chosen one for a bit longer. As I said before I want to share so leave me a note of how much of this you would like and naturally in what shape or currency you would like it in. I've added this latest e-mail just to show you that I'm serious about this after all Sir Mario Domenico said I was a final recipient
regards Zsuzsy Bee
(I'm just so tired of this s**t e-mail daily)
I won 6 lotteries today alone, so thanks for the offer Zsuzsy, but I've got money comin' out my ears already! Didn't get any pesos though, so if you did I wouldn't mind a few million of those. I'll trade you for some dead guy's goldmine that I apparently inherited.
Oh yeah, and Sympatico wants me to email them my email address and password right away. I know that because they emailed me. They've warned me now, so I shouldn't go crying to them if my account gets shut down for not doing so.
Is it me, or is there a tidal wave of these things lately?
Sorry Shirley I'm fresh out of pesos but what can I trade you for that goldmine? You sure the guy is dead?
I was away for a few hours yesterday when I came home I thought I'd check my e-mail as I'm waiting for one (that didn't come) but my eyes almost dropped out of my head. In 5.5 hours I had received 112 pieces of c**p. It had calmed down a bit over the past months for me but here we go again. Even one from "Mirosoft" and the best one "Work for Googelworks" (the spelling of both kind of gave them away).
I don't know what they wanted as obviously I just scrapped them all in one big swoop... I can't help thinking that possibly I've ruined my life for good... I might have been able to buy (what's his name) the 'Mirosoft' guy, out with my inheritances
LOL, you'd look good sitting behind Bill Gates' desk, Zsuzsy. Much more attractive, too.
Hmmm, I'm not sure what else could get me to part with that precious, and I'm sure very real goldmine. I'll have to think about that, but right now $20 sounds good.
You sure are a ray of sunshine Bob! You just ruined my day for good I had plans for that 'dough' zs
But that's just because you didn't give them your bank information...
Those guys are getting sooooo lazy. I remember getting long email like 1000 or 2000 words - and look what I just got:
ATTENTION:
SIR

Shinujohn! Wow, you won the much sought after Nokia awards, you're so lucky I never won that one.
Weblog! Do I detect a slight bit of envy in your comment? Come on 'fes up. I might be able to put a good word in to the luck-fairy for you just so you can win awards like us. let me know

How would you like it, unfortunately I'm fresh out of pesos... zs
I'll take mine in the form of butter tarts! Oops! Did I say that out loud?

I simply delete, I receive 100 mails daily!!!
Zsuzsy! Hahaha I just had to laugh at your exasperation!
You know Michelle, every so often I just need to blow off some steam at the garbage that is floating around. We, the human race have not only polluted the earth, the same is being done to cyber-space now too... all this spam. (Something to ponder: Will it ever overflow?)
I thought we all could use a small little half smile as we shake our head and press delete.
greetings from a beautifully sunny Canada zs

What I find interesting is that they inform me I'm a WINNER, but how do they know that if they don't even have any of my information? They ask for my phone number, country, occupation, address and even my NAME, so how can I be a winner if they don't even know who I am? Good stuff.
Holy-Moly! "fiduciary agent" I haven't heard that one yet. Half the time these messages don't even have proper sentences let alone words like fiduciary. I still love my "Mirosoft" awards the best though.
I hope your family is well, I bet little schnooks is growing like a little weed regards Zsuzsy
Or how about this one supposedly from UK:

Since when has the UK alphabet included symbols?
My favorite spam is the one that says I'm the distant relative of some joe schmoe (usually in the UK) and that he had died and left me a large inheritance. Too bad I can't find one of those when I really "need" to so I can post it for some laughs...
Okay, last one just because I'm having too much fun with this:ATTENTION: Beneficiary,
We, the entire members of the Federal House of Senate, Under the auspices
of the new civilian Head of State(FRN), held a meeting last week with
Stake Holders prior to the Call for Justice by the UN, US and other
International Communities in respect of your Overdue Inheritance Payment.
On going through files, we discovered that your file was dumped untreated
so at
this juncture we apologize for the delay on your payment. Kindly Re-confirm
your Inheritance/Contract amount to the Federation Auditor General through
his email thus: senatormax1@yahoo.fr and you will be paid you through a
Creditable Bank oversea's as a resolution has been passed regarding it by
this house.
Your's faithfully,
Senator David Mark.
It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside to learn that "the entire members of the Federal House of Senate" held a meeting just for me. I mean seriously, who else can say that they had some country's congress convene solely on the behalf of their financial benefit?
Now I'm simply waiting for my money to be paid to me through that credible overseas bank.
I'm impressed You're a relative of Joe Schmoe too. My Joe Schmoe is not from the UK bloodline, mine fell off the tree in central Europe somewhere. We might just be distant cousins...zs
Thanks for asking zsuzsy yhey're great! The little one is in my lap as I type. She's strongly against me using two hands to type...
I just love how the personal messages always start of with "My name is Mr.Blah-blah" when does anyone introduce themselves as Mr., Miss, Mrs. or Ms.... zs
Here is latest one more

claims officer with your:Names..,Tel....Sex...Age..Occupation Nationality

Mr.Thomas Hooper
They didn't ask for your hat and shoe size... don't bother that's a bogus claim. I'm so sorry to be the bad news fairy...
Yeah the way I tell if it's a hoax or not is dependent upon whether they ask for my social security number.
If they ask for the SSN it's legit.
If they don't ask for the SSN it's fraudulent, because how could they award the prize without your social?
HI Zsuzsy, I woke up at 2 am groan. Anyhow ended up tinkering with the school's website. Yes its pretty okay to let off steam every now and then. I was smiling at you with the I won I won I won I won I won I won I won thingy...and I could imagine delete delete delete delete delete delete delete delete going on too...
I do that sometimes...just the entire folder and wham! goodbye...no more messages for me.
Its 4 am...maybe I should try going back to sleep. Take care...
If you guys decide to throw any of your winnings away , ill take them so you dont have to
What currency would you like these winnings to be in?
You asked for congratulations and none has given yet.Okay accept from me,you deserve it.Remember Misha also
Hi Zbee
I too have been winning all kinds of major money prizes, pulitzers and stuff like that. I had to get a uhaul trailer to get it all home and then put it in my garage. I do appreciate your kindness and if there was anymore room in my (now filled with green backs) garage, I would take some of that off your hands. Thanks!
You are just so kind. Very nice of you to offer help.
kindest regards Zsuzsy

ZB--and everyone else--
"Even one from "Mirosoft" as per Zsuzsy's first post.
Got a warning in yesterday not to open anything from Microsoft. It has a whopper of a virus in it that, as of 8-8-08, has no cure.
Careful all, opening this stuff is really dangerous! Just hit the delete button instead!
Thanks for the warning Ruthie! You're absolutely right this kind of c**p shouldn't be opened. I had some dealings, a while back, with some branch of Microsoft, it sure would have been easy enough to open anything with their name on. (Mirosoft the spelling alone told me what it would be)
Have a super duper day and kindest regards Zsuzsy

I have not received any email notifications from HubPages since yesterday, March 9th, just before noon. Has anyone else had this problem? I will retype my email address and check my junk folder.
by Marye Audet 11 years ago
So other than the fact that Google has apparently decided I am a crappy writer and my traffic is down from 17k a day to maybe 1600... with a similar decline in income... Do we yet know why this happened? Feeling a little bitter. Have had to take on enough clients that I rarely have time to...
