    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...

    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.

    Just looked up USAFIS.org - scam was the first thing that came up under predictive google, leading here! Snakey hoors.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Expect.

    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.
