There's a bit of a whiff of the Nigerian banker about this but I'll admit it's a novel approach.

ROFL!!

Hei, I like their email address and the was they spell it: k[carriage return] dot ro

So they are catering to the small but select circle that

a) are stupid enough to respond to that scam
b) are celever enough to put the email address together
c) and then again are stupid enough not to realise .ro ist Romania.

Wow, what a choice demographic as a target group!

[essayel.livejournal.com]

Well, to be honest they'd have had me on b) and c) but, thank God, NOT a).

However, I still feel special.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Well, that is because you are special, my dear. They must have realised.

Just not special in the way that they were hoping for, poor sods...

[[Sorry for meta-posting; I am merely lazy. Also, have Tower's journal logged into LJ in IE.]]

[essayel.livejournal.com]

I do this a lot as well. Don't worry about it.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Only this time, I did it on purpose and out of sheer laziness. That warrants an apology.-

At least I've got this one icon that my mun journal shares with both 'Suti and Andras so it's always clear that I mean me.

What a coincidence, I've just won the same lottery!

*sighs happily* We're just special, aren't we? We ought to start a 'Bogus Lottery Winners' community.
