On Wednesday I ran an item on how an 80-year-old man was scammed out of close to $750,000 when he was sucked in by crooks who told him he’d won big bucks in a state lottery.

“Was this a ‘MICROSOFT PRIZE DRAW’ thing?” asked a Reader’s Write. “I’ve had dozens of those, and they do look a little more convincing than the average 419.”

Mine didn’t.

I’ve had loads of lottery notifications too, but since it’s the end of the year, I thought for the hell of it, I’d follow through on one that arrived this morning, apparently from China, which makes a kind of change.

“You were selected in the Chevron/Texaco award which was held DECEMBER 2009 , and you are to claim the amount of $750,000 USD it means you are one of the five(5) lucky winners,” it said. “Your winning number is: (CT-100745-NG). You are adviced to send us this informations: NAME IN FULL: DELIVERY ADDRESS: AGE: NATIONALITY: OCCUPATION: PHONE: SEX: contact e mail: chevrontexacodept210@w.cn.”

I emailed back, “Hello CHEVRON TEXACO AWARD, Wow! What do I have to do to claim my prize? Best regards, Jon,” to which Pastor Williams Moris [his spelling ]responded >>>

I answered, “OK, thank you. I ask because I am very old and I have read stories about how old people have been robbed and I don’t want to be one of those. But you are a pastor so you must be genuine. What church?”

And that was all he (or she ) wrote. So I guess I won’t be seeing in the New Year in Bermuda after all.

*sigh*

No need to stay tuned.

UPDATE:

That wasn’t the end of it, after all. At 12:19 Pacific, I received this >>>
