It was during my 2nd year in college . I remember those days when i used to dream of some fortune coming from no where , and thus i can stop going to college and start living my life just spending the money, going world trips , making movies and all .
It was a Saturday evening, and i thought of checking out my mails. So i went to a near by internet center. Logged in to my yahoo mail and saw this

That time i never thought people have started doing fraud vaela through e-mails also . With the excitement, i sent a reply to that mail with my name, age and phone number (Expecting a call ASAP) . But i got a mail the other day asking out for my account number . Actually i could have given my account number and bank details (My bank balance was nill , lol) . But even being bankrupt i thought twice before letting them know my bank details . That was when i understood the real use of Google . Gotcha.... Exact mails have been sent to many ... And bankrupts like me having nothing to loose , lost nothing , But those rich people who wanted to get more rich (Who would say no to One Million Pounds), got their names to our list (Bankrupts, hehe) . Actually i won the lottery :)
