I got this email in my spam folder and had to read it...first, my being in the US and not drinking this beer, or entering any contests, I knew it was fake.
The fact it was not addressed to me, and says I was one of 10 that won over a million euros certainly made is more believable (yeah right).
One look at the email addresses tells me this is all hooey too - I doubt Amstel-Pilsner uses bellsouth and yahoo for their email addresses!
Ooops, I've not kept my numbers confidential - so if you feel like collecting 1.55 million euros on my behalf, please send me 10% up front to show your good faith LOL LOL LOL

Phone rings, I answer "Christopher Perry Photography"
Woman on phone says "Do you do wedding photography?"
I respond "Yes, I do. When is your date?"
She tells me "Saturday October 13 - are you available?"
"Yes, I am, would you like to come to the studio and we can talk about your wedding and I can show you some of my work"
She says "Yes I'd like to come over, but I work all week, so we'd ahve to meet on the weekend. Do you work Saturdays?"
That's when I want to raise my prices!
