Am I gonna be rich? NAH!

I just received a computer generated call from "Publishers Clearing House". According to them, if I call the number they left me, I will be able to receive my share of the 2.5 million in prize money. All I have to do is call them and give them my banking information in order to receive it. Then I decided that making that call for a mere 2.5 million just wasn't worth my time. I'm holding out for the big money. I still have the number on my caller ID if anyone would like it.

Sounds like a phishing scam to me. They just want access to your bank account in order to drain it. I can't stand these scammers who simply prey on people because they think they can get away with it. Life was so screwed up when I grew up in the '60's, but I would depart the 21st century and go straight back in a time machine if I had the power.

Why just today, I've won a 170 piece tool kit for being a loyal Harbor Freight customer. Oddly enough, I don't ever recall having been in a Harbor Freight store. Got the same prize from Ace Hardware too. Plus a lawn tractor from Lowes, 10,000 free air miles from Southwest Airlines, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree from Wal-Mart I think it was.

As soon as the King of Buruindie sends me that $25 Million, I'll get back to all those people.

How Publisher's Clearing House makes prize payments. from the "net: "Prize checks are sent via First Class U.S. Mail for prizes under $600.00 and via overnight mail (or UPS) for prizes of $600.00 and above. Prizes of $10,000.00 and above may be awarded either by overnight mail (or UPS) or in person by the PCH Prize Patrol, depending on location and availability of the Prize Patrol."

My e mail is loaded with offers for me to claim my prize. I don't need any more money.

I really thought about calling the number just for the heck of it and giving them all kinds of false information just to see what they would do and how long I could keep them on the phone before they figured it out. I just feel sorry for the people that fall for scams like this.

You could go to a new bank and set up an account with a couple of dollars and see what happens.

roarindan, I'm tired of the "everybody gets a trophy" mentality that is everywhere nowadays. I'm going for the big stuff and the heck with anybody else. Greed is good!
