Green Card email

[Pauro 76]

Hi, just got an email about Green Cards. Do you have to pay a $49 fee to join the Green Card US Lottery? Just cant help wondering if it's a scam and not sure how the whole process works...

It IS a scam,DONT PAY ANY MONEY.I'll try find the link for you for the offical site.Its totally free.Theres anumber of scam ads and emails going around on the net.My local youth advice centre told me they were scams and gave me the real link.Im at a computer in work right now so i dont have it to hand but ill give it to you later when i get back home as its saved to my favourites.

Cheers lads! Actually got a phone call from America just now! The guy was just talking up why I should go ahead with it, 1 in 100 chance of winning a green card etc. He quoted $300 for my name on the list for 4 years. Told him I won't pay yet, I just said I needed more time to think, he didnt sound too pleased and asked why I was backtracking, do I not want this opportunity. He sounded a bit too desperate, and I just hung up.... this is the link that appeared to me. Straight to spam it'll go.

Expect them to KEEP bombarding you with emails every few weeks for the next year or so making the same claim.Unsubscribing doesnt work it seems.

Funnily enough got another phonecall from them and more e-mails. They won't go away easily.

Generally...if it looks to good to be true it is too good to be true....

Ray Foley was having a bit of craic off one of those scammers on his show recently...pretty funny.
