The Wife thinks She won $650,000 I think it's a scam

It's awful when you see how easy it is for these scammers to get normal intelligent people sucked in.

I went very close to buying a copy of XP online for some stupidly low price.... just wasnt thinking.. at the last moment I looked at the url their payment form pointed at.. googled it.. and came up with about 1000 hits on Scam Alert websites.

Then a week later a friend casually mentions this great deal he found on windows XP but the order form said they couldnt process his credit card.. (I made him get on the phone and order a new card on the spot).


*for anyone who didnt realise it... most of those spam emails you get offering ridiculously cheap software.. are just a scam to collect your Credit Card information.. they tell you they cant process your order so you hopefully forget about them and they get more time using your card.
