Hi, I'd strongly recommend you to delete that message and pay no attention to this kind in the future, if you do not wish to find yourself a victim of identity theft one day. |

Hi Kanol,
Thank you for your advice. I had already deleted that message. This information will be eye-opener for many learners on the forum.
Thanks

Dear S.Shanthi,
I've received some scam mails and phone calls in the past. I always ignore them. I may warn others about them and look them up on-line. Sometimes they can be reported, though unfortunately little can usually be done about it. It seems to be a bigger problem in recent years. We keep getting calls from the same scam ring. Every time I tell them immediately that I know it's a scam and that what they say isn't true. They hang up on my husband or I right away after that.
There will always be people in the world who try to take advantage of others. The best thing we can do is to inform others that it's out there and ignore the scam.
Take care, Megan _________________ Come talk with us in the Speak Spontaneously thread! http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic78982-1470.html |

Here in Russia phone humbug is widespread, with lots of variations. Most of them are quite obvious and people are well informed about them so I just wonder if they get more money than spend on calls. But, unfortunately, sometimes some people, mostly elderly ones, swallow the bait so the frauds get their profit. |

Dear Xiamuou,
Thank you for your information about scam. As I have never received this type of scamp on my mobile, I got afraid of this message. Then I wrote the problem on the forum for getting solution and information. I got very good response from you and Kanol. I am very kind of you.
Thank you

Don't be serious about such emails. They are rubbish, worthless, alluring etc.. _________________ A person who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything. |

I think it's a plumper , because if you won that money that company called you certainly. one day in 3 years ago a company in Iran ( Irancell ) called me and said you won 10,000,000, Rial and a professional camera , please send 1,000,000 Rial in this address ( the address he told me ) and we will send you awards .

If I won that money (for a joke) I would have been to International Countries Tour for visiting all countries. I would not sit in front of PC and spend my time.
Thank you

If I won that much money then I would travel the world, lead a luxurious life. I would not spend the rest of my life sitting in front of the PC. _________________ A person who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything. |

Hi Noren,
Thanks for your correcting the sentences. I should have written like this: If I had won that much money, I would have been to the world tour for visiting all the countries. And I would not have spent time on TV, Laptop, and PC.
Thank you
S.Shanthi

Thank you for your reply. I have not asked you to correct the mistakes. Who said I am authorized person for correcting the learners mistake? I know to get attention from language coaches.
Please don't correct my posts even if you find a mistake. If I make mistake only I can learn something, that is my policy, please don't interfere. _________________ If you want Excellence,You must aim at perfection in our work. |
