This is one form of scam ... January 24, 2009 Argentina

I have been sent similar emails

I got an email from the Microsoft Corp via City Link Couriers in Birmingham, England to the effect that it will cost $451 US to get the "winning" Award of Promotion . Same trash as all the above emails. I am one of the near destitutes, disabled and trying to live on disability. Those buggers must have a keen nose for people like me. Susan

my name is luis santos please callme at this namber cel [protected] en colombia cartagena

Hola, yo también recibí una propuesta similar de la "Chevron" y otra de "Google Center", soy muy desconsiderados estos estafadores virtuales, porque juegan con las ilusiones de las personas, siempre apuntan a paises subdesarrollados donde la esperanza de ganar una suma como la que mencionan cambiaría en forma radical la vida de muchas personas que trabajan duro para sobrevivir día a día. Sería bueno poder desenmascaralos, ponerlos presos y que nos indemnicen a los que fuimos estafados en nuestra confianza!
Jorge

Not that I allowed this ridiculous attempt to scam me go any further than it being sent to me, but just for the hell of it, I decided to do a search on the sender, "TNT Couriers" to see what came up and I came across this location. So here is what I received from these attempted scammers. Hope it helps someone.
