Terms of Service - Guidelines Now before I quit my day job, I got a couple questions here........ 1) I won a lotto I never participated in????? COOL!! 2) The directors "official" e-mail ends in @excite.com???? Even cooler, takes balls to use a bogus free mail account for such official business!! 3)Is it odd the sender of this fine notification was from some other complete ass stranger with a US based road runner account?? Getting suspicious now..... 4) Is it odder that the verification page is a www, and not even a https:?? Come on guys, try a lil harder. 5) Do people really fall for this crap? Anywho, happy tuesday goofs. Hope your day goes well and your beverages pleasing....:)
