Lottery fraud, part II

Well, of course Dr. Richmond didn't mind when someone else wanted to claim my lottery prize. That's pretty obvious. He replied pretty fast. That's what he wanted:

"I write to notify you that you are one of our lucky winners in our fortune lottery programs,the name attach to your email address was selected through computer ballot system,kindly scan or write your identifcation like working I.D student I.D,drivers licence or international passport through my email for more verifications,and also to avoid double claims of funds,delays,and complications in our program."


Too bad my friend Jooseppi (born yesterday) has no ID whatsoever. That didn't stop me from sending Dr. Richmond Jooseppi's pass port scan and driver's license scan.

Lottery fraud

I have won 415,810 euros in a lottery. Which is quite neat, because I don't even remember participating in one. But oops - according to the e-mail I got, I'm not supposed to tell anyone. I'll have to contact Dr. Richmond Berkly (he's a doctor, so it must be really important) to get the money.

Let's see. Company that handles millions of euros doesn't have proper e-mail addresses - all free mail addresses from who knows where. Google search on the company name brings up list of Nigerian scam companies. Hmm-hmm... this one's tricky.

Well, let's see what they say when an imaginary lottery winner replies to them!

Choosing Linux distribution

I'm probably installing Linux on my old computer at some point. I'm now pondering about selecting the distribution to use. Red Hat or Debian or something completely different? Opinions are welcome, as are pointers to interesting and useful articles about the issue.


Red Hat feels like a safer selection, with more support and easier use. In the other hand, Debian has some attracting points (mostly philosophical) too.

Birthday

I'm 23 now (actually, I've been 23 since Friday - it's just taken me a while to get used to the fact). I'm glad to be back in a prime number age - reaching next one will take a while.
