Personally, I have received tons of 'winning lottery tickets' from Yahoo, from UK etc informing me that I had won in their sweepstakes. If I had really won, I must be one very lucky fellows and I would have been a millionaire already. Not only that, I have also received countless email on business collaboration or someone wanting to transfer a sum of money from their dead clients. I have often thought to myself, why do these people want to cheap people of their money when they are so creative and they have the brains. Could they have done something more positively to contribute to their own respective communities? Although these internet hoaxes caused no harm whatsoever, they have an element of deceit.
