Comments

[S.S.]

I have recieved this also, by using a search engine to research the e-mail it quickly becomes apparent that it is simlpy a scam...

[NP]

I also recived it and this is a load of crap. I thought that this email was a scam for the simple fact that I got it through my IUP(college) email and it said randomly chosen from emails. IUP didn't send out any notice of this "Competition". I did a little research and extremely quickly found that it was a scam.

[Pudjiati Linasari]

i thought that was true, but after i check the e-mail was full of crap. For everyone who received the email from La Campaigne Award Promotion, please do not believe it! Do not waste your time!!!!!

[Marcus Liew]

This is such an obvious scam. Just look how badly it was written. It "tries" to look professional.

[KC]

I got this email through my community college email. I am perturbed at the fact they got my address. It is obviously a scam. The email has a rediculous sense of urgency, and it is claiming to give away a large sum of money. Last I checked, my email could neither enter a contest by itself nor win a lottery of any kind. I hope nobody has sent information to these people.

[Adam]

This is definitely a scam, I just received one on my college e-mail account. I wonder if anyone actually falls for these things anymore, with forums like this and well... common sense.

[Aparna]

Hi Everyone

I received the same email too. And yes it is a scam. I did email the guy to make sure what it is and seeing his responses and confidence i am sure it is a scam. dont fall for it.

[richie]

haha yeah i just got this email
scam scam scamm

[marc]

omg i just checked my college mail account and received the exact mail and i just finished replying to it. then i doubted it would be a scam and searched, in fact IT IS A SCAM.

what should i do? i think i gave em my address and number

[Sheree]

I'm an incoming freshman in college and I'm suprised that i'm already getting junk mail on my college e-mail account. I had to look twice! I couldn't believe it. pLUS big give away...it's from 2007. who holds a raffle contest for over a year. and to marc who gave out your information....now you know! hopefully and most likely nothing more will come out of it as long as you didnt give your personal information.

[Alma]

Wow, it seems like we all have the same problem. I haven't even moved into my university (UC Merced) yet and I already got junk email like this one. I got this exact one and thanks to this site I won't waste my time on it. Thanks everybody!!

[Justin]

yea same, the e-mail is so fake... so i just typed the name in google and this came right up haha

[Scott Fisher]

Hi
Just received a copy of the above letter in my M.S.U. account (I'm a beginning grad. student there.) Thank you for the "heads- up". As this is my second scam letter, I'll be prepared for others. It's going to be a tough year.

[Tim]

HAHA.

I got the same email as soon as my UCR email box was available. The damn idiots don't even know how to speak English:)

[mw]

I too heard from Mark at "La Campaigne . . .". I've been actually disappointed as I learned more about all this. However, have been learning a lot from others' postings, and from websites out there informing about/fighting scams -- Query "419 Scam" -- it's full of very useful info including what's on an FBI website, as is "scamomatic.com".

For laughs, take a look at "Funny Nigerian Email" . . . "RE: AWARD NOTIFICATION FINAL NOTICE" at geekswithblogs.net/evjen/archive/2005/09/07/53038.aspx.

[liz]

hey i just got one too and i was sceptical as well as i called the number and only got a deep buzzing that went on and off. i think these guys are only targeting college students cause they know we are strapped for cash (well most). when i emailed saying i wouldnt give any info till i talked to someone i never got a reply. anyone who got this should notify their college so they can make an announcement to the students.

[Stephanie]

this came through my school e-mail address. Great security system, eh??

[Kira]

I got this email through my college's email system, too. It seemed pretty sketchy at first, and when I typed it into google, this site popped up. Scam-a-rific.

Seems they're targeting us poor college students. 500 thousand dollars would of been nice, though.

I thought the comment about donating to charity was cute, though.

[sindamanathuram]

yeah haha, i got this scam email too. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!! it's a fuckin scam, so obvious. Give out your information and your bank accounts will be cleared, and identity theft has occured

[sindamanathuram]

yeah haha, i got this scam email too. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!! it's a fuckin scam, so obvious. Give out your information and your bank accounts will be cleared, and identity theft has occured

[Cynthia Snell]

Yes. it's a scam. I did email them back but I didn.t give them any personal information. DON'T DO IT !

[camille]

i got this scam mail too. I knew it was fake! i was smart for googleing it first before e-mailing back.

btw: i'm only a middle school student

[april]

i just received the same email too just last week ago and i even replied to it. until we researched the LA CAMPAIGNE AWARD in the internet there we found out it was a scam!!!!!!!! hahaha

[Theo]

Dang I just recieved the same email on my college email account.

[Saad Murtaza]

Hi Saad Murtaza here from Pakistan, i have just recieved the same email and after searching it from google i found it is a scam. I wish some one may never b traped in their net.
