I get a boat load of lottery scams. But actually I wanted to complain about having to almost always type in a verification code when I send an email. It's getting old real fast! I see I have to do it here also.

The MicrosoftWindows has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, his/her friends might try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Msn/Yahoo lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

Note:This office will not be responsible for any outstanding fee Services rendered by the Courier Company are to be paid by you and not the lottery board, for the fact that the lottery organizers didn't make any provision for any upcoming expenses regarding delivery of parcel or any such. Also you will be asked to pay the delivery fee for your parcel to be delivered to you any part in the world.

It is impossible to scroll down the news items. It goes way too quickly. It gets frustrating. So much so, that I switch to Yahoo or Aol for the news. I do like the variety and the depth, but it's hard to find what I've just seen at the bottom of the screen. Thank you for all that you do. and Happy Holidays. Marguerite Rathbone
