Greets, folks,

I, among 25 or so other clayarters, received a message below that
offers what amounts to "free" money.

Of course, if something seems too good to be true, chances are it isn't true.

You can read about this type of scam here (among other places on the web):

I'm sure many of you will recognize this as a known Internet scam.
Many have been fleeced by similar schemes.

Of course, it's possible that this guy's legit, but I'll buy anyone
on the list lunch if he is.

Maurice

I get these scam e-mails all the time. As soon as I see that they say my
e-mail is a winner of a lottery or that they are from somewhere in Europe or
Africa, I delete it There's no such thing as free money.

Maurice

I get so many of these emails, not from clayart but they are spam mail.
I get them from companies as wholesalers and etc. I love my spam and
delete key :)
