Ahh, so finally I can stop trading and buy a shack on the beach!!!
Seriously, many otherwise rational people respond to such the fraudsters and start communicating over email or phone, and get trapped into paying 'legal fees' 'witholding taxes' etc, and once in, try to salvage the situation by paying the 'final demad' to claim the lottery/jackpot/inheritence etc.
By the time they get wiserr, there are stories of people who have lost their lifesavings and I had read of a bank manager who parted a couple of millions of his banks money and was subsequently jailed.
Guess all members of TJ would be aware of this, but to those who do not, be warned - it is a scam.
