So I looked in my E-mail to find a message from a so-called "Linux Lotto," the message being called "Your Linux Results."
Linux Corporations
Hembrugstraat 15
1013WV Amsterdam
WINNING NOTIFICATION
We are pleased to inform you of the long awaited results of Sweepstakes promotion organized by Linux,
in conjunction with the Apple promotion of software products, held this January 2009, in The netherlands.
Your email address was picked and you have won
-
Wonder if perhaps they got your email from a forum, and going by things you typed, they tried to make up some companies.
-
Wow this is weird. You need to send all of your personal information to Games.com, which an extention of AOL.
And, the address leads to a reliable open-source system administrator company.
The last bit is funny as hell, it says:
"The information in this message is confidential and possibly protected by law."

Wouldn't be surprised.

I knew AOL was an evil company, but I didn't think they were this evil.
I also found where they said they were "partnered with Apple" or something like that, and one of the prizes is a Toshiba laptop.
