The Got Dang Song - to catch a thief
Am I lucky or what? The email below that I just received in my inbox says that I just won a million dollars. Not only did I win a million bucks- but sponsors in this great lottery included not only Microsoft but Deutsche Bank and GCI networks (whoever they are).
Now what's wrong with this email? Why isn't it a winner? Where's my million Euros? Why can this not be true? After all people win a million bucks all the time. So why not now? Why not me?
I tell you why not. It would seem to me that Deutsche Bank would have enough Euros or dollars - whichever the case maybe to have their own email address something like, 'thisjerk@Deutschebank.com'
But what do I see at the bottom of the email along with an overseas telephone , I see 'E-mail address:: bankdutchie@aim.com.' Now in checking out this address, as Curtis Mayfield would say, who the ' got dang ' is "aim.com?" Low and behold I find out that aim.com is connected to some sort of site that has nothing to do with Deutsche Bank. You would think that if this was the real deal someone from the bank would contact me using a bank email address.
Now, let's look at the email address where the email came from ' result@results6.orangehome.co.uk.' Where does www.results6.orangehome.co.uk take me. Well the same place it will take you - if you click on it now. It takes you no where.
Also I'm curious to know, If some company just gave away $1,000,000, why they would not want the world to know about it. Imagine all the press a company could generate giving away a million dollars. According to these folks though they want you to keep things on the down low. They state "we advice that you keep all information about this prize confidential."
So what's the deal here?
