Yes, and the job offer for $2,000 a month plus a 4% commission to cash checks from their U.S. customers and wire the money to Russia is a scam too.
And so is the job receiving packages and then reshipping them to Nigeria.
And the millions a dying billionaire wants you to help him distribute to charity (with a generous chunk for you to keep)… scam.
And Bill gates will NOT send you $100 for forwarding an e-mail.
And no, you do not have to put your cell phone on the Do Not Call list before some imminent release of all cell phone numbers to telemarketers happens.
And no one got charged $250 for a cookie recipe.
And that funny kid/senior citizen who filled out a McDonalds/Walmart application with snarky answers like “last position held: target for middle-management hostility” was me, I never applied at McDonalds or Walmart, and I wrote it as a joke for my web site in 1997 (the Urban Legends Reference Pages at Snopes.com will back me up on that).
And that dying kid who wanted to collect greeting cards from all over the world got better like 15 years ago, so please stop sending them.
Actually, the joke here is supposed to be that the Lottery’s legit and why won’t anyone believe them? Not sure that my delivery was on spot on this one.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think the sign in the last panel says “there’s a sucker born every minute.”

Haha! it’s a great one in my book, had a good laugh! My luck, every one of those emails I deleted was possibly legit.

No worries David. I got it. Just added irony of the sign when in fact they were legit.
Vince, please send me money. I’ll be sure to double your money.
