We may have won 5 million bucks and an E series Mercedes-Benz.

Here's the message left on our phone:

"This is a following official publication of results for the 'International [garbled] Commission Organized by the Consortium of Manufacturers and Mega-Millions of Sweepstakes and Lotteries Commission' where you've emerged as one of the lucky winners in the 1st place category and therefore on track for a cash award payout of 5 million dollars via a valid cashiers check and a bonus prize of a 2019 E-class Mercedes-Benz." Just call the following phone number:

They'll probably just want some bank account info, SS numbers and maybe our first-born grand daughter on her 13th birthday, none of which should be a problem.

Other than the ICOBYCOMAMMOSALC being a mouthful and we would really prefer a 2020 E-series, it sounds legit. Should we call? Any ideas?

1. Well Hell. Anybody with an official sounding name like that HAS to be legit.

Go for it but whatever you do, don't give them your DU user name and password. That would be a step too far for me.

[yonder]

2. Yeah, I'd draw the line there too. How about your password?

[Marie Marie]

5. I would never disclose to anyone that my password is password.

Even if they tortured me. I know when to keep my mouth shut.

11. 01234. got it.

[demosincebirth]

13. Nah, too hard to remember.

[leftieNanner]

3. Go for the E class wagon!

6. I'll bring up the wagon when I call back.

Colour preference?

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Scam call back numbers are often exorbitant long distance charges.

I've sadly had to pass on the many sweepstakes/refunds my phone sends me.

[niyad]

4. I always love it whenI am a big winner in contests I never entered. Right up there with the

nigerian prince thing, which I got many times.

Call me cynical and suspicious, but I just never can get myself to believe them.

[yonder]

7. Yup. Not even the ICOBYCOMAMMOSALC.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. I feel so totally left out and ignored.

I never win a sweepstakes, and no Nigerian Prince has EVER contacted me. What am I doing wrong?

[yonder]

9. I'll split the cash AND the car with you as consolation. Win/win

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Oh, thank you.

I feel so much better now.

[calguy]

12. Wow....how lucky is that?

Winning a sweepstakes you didn't even enter, right.
Without the internet, these things would never happen.
