If you directly copy-pasted it, then I can't help but notice all the Capital Letter Word Sentences and the moments where things are typed in all-caps.
From what I can tell, no official real company would send out official e-mails with those things.
And then there is the obvious thing: the email said the "winners". That implies that people had to sign up and most lost. Where was the people who got these e-mails during the nonexistent sign-up? Not there. And if you're a winner, you don't have to re-fill out a form.
A little bit of common sense would save a LOT of people from this type of thing. But by the same token, I suppose that some who fall for it could be half asleep or their judgment could be impaired by medication (prescription or not) or alcohol. |
