Does anyone has received a email saying that you won the lottery?
I did received one of those emails and it says that I won 850.000.00 dollars in a lotto draw where they randomly selected a batch of 50,000 international emails and that my emails was selected and won that prize but the question is: are these real? or they just want my money? Because i been replying this person to "claim" my prize and that I have to pay a fee of US$1240 to open a non-resident account in south africa to make an international wire transfer to my bank account here in USA. At first, the guy was pretty convincing but then he said that i had to send the money somewhere in London...and that's weird! why would I send money to London to open a bank account in south africa? I would like to know if these guys just want my money and if you have experienced something similiar and tell me if this are real or they just fake? thanx!

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them. http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lotteryscam_Yahoo04.php Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them. Check out these

can you make a good case?

A high school in Ohio gives an annual scholorship to an "Outstanding African American Student" who is nominated and voted for by the students. Last year, the kids nominated and gave the money to a white kid, who happened to have been born in South Africa, and his family moved here and became citizens, making him by definition, an African America. Well, needless to say, the black kids went nuts and protested...whats your spin?

Seems like it was all legit. It's too bad that some people had to make it a color-of-your-skin thing.
2 :
Well, if he's african american, he's african american. It's pretty accurate. It's funny that people get mad if you call them black except when it's convenient.
3 :
He's 100% more African than they ever will be...I bet not one of them have ever been to Africa..and he had to work had for the scholarship anyway, maybe they should have tried harder... And its just like them to protest and riot.....You sure never see them complaining when they get chosen over a whit person because of Affirmative Action
4 :
It sounds like to me the only real African American was that which was born on the Continent of Africa, does not matter the color of skin. By all logic and common sense not to mention decency the kid born is Africa is African. Others should recognize this and congratulate him! And of course the generosity of other kid should be noted.
5 :
That is perfectly logical - the title says nothing about skin color and that student certainly has some very direct ties to Africa. Should the scholarship be titled "Outstanding Sherwin Williams Mahogany #15 or darker Student"?
6 :
There are white and black in South Africa. So if a white kid was the Outstanding student for last year, then the award should be given to him. This award was fairly given to a South African student. Some people are so narrow minded and can not see the light of day. This white kid was born in South Africa. So he is more of an African, then the black kids , that were born here. They just don't get it, do they ??
7 :
Nicole...your answer is full of assumptons....do you know what assumptons do?? That is why I left the "I" out. LOL Any way, I don't need to say much about you because you spell it all out for everyone in all your questions and answers.
8 :
The black would expect the African American, to be black, I don't think its right for them to separated, from the other Americans, either you are an American, or your an African, no in between
9 :
My spin is that the principal of that school is fired. They should instead give an annual scholarship to "outstanding math student" or "outstanding music student" or "outstanding future teacher."

Anyone have an idea of what I should do about this situation?
Anyone have an idea of what I should do about this situation?
I was born in South Africa and only recently returned to my father's place of birth, the UK. I studied, elec. eng, in my country, but it proved to be a very large waste of time and money. Anyone from South Africa would say it is a great country but is yet to have an unbiased government. Hence I never worked in the industry I studied, which I completed in 2004, instead I continued working in restaurants as I had been doing since 1999.So when I arrived in the UK and was accepted at a five star Hotel in Scotland I was very happy. I would work in their top restaurant! Today makes it 3 wks since I've been here and I have had a real awakening, sadly I don't know what to do about my situation. My first week was training and I then went into the restaurant, but things never accepted in the restaurants I have worked before are accepted here, there is hardly leadership and when I spoke of these things I was told I would get used to it? I don't want to lower my standards, I'm really a bit lost.

every person has a natural instinct for the right and wrong deep inside them. if you think what your're doing in this restaurant is wrong, then either make it clear for everybody that you don't accept some of the things there and try to change them or leave the place as soon as you can find an alternative. don't just think of what you've got now, think about your future too and that you will be working there for a long time and may be for the rest of your life! you gotta weigh both advantages and disadvantages. i say try the job a bit longer, as a week of training isn't enough to evaluate a whole new job. then if you still feel uncomfortable about it just quit. if you tried your best and it failed, there's no way it will work in the future cause things usually tend to get worse specially if you don't have control over them.

There is something to be learned in every situation. Are you sure that you will have to lower your standards there? My guess is that this will be a good experience one way or another. Maybe you should try to make a difference there - even if it's in a very small way. Don't internalize this situation so much. It doesn't require emotion. Good luck!

Africa (South of the Sahara Desert and North of the equator) By: Laura Pinheiro Henrique Africa has many serious development problems, education is one of them. The biggest problems with education in many African nations are: a lack of funding and a lack of qualified teachers. Most of the educated Africans look to Europe, The United States and other better developed areas of the world to move to, so that they can make more money and live comfortably. In Africa, millions of children don't have the opportunity to receive any education because of the massive poverty and diseases. Pushing education would greatly help Africa in each of the other problematic areas like gathering food, protecting their health, and other necessary parts of survival.43% of 35 African countries have an adult literacy rate of less than 60%! On the Global Literacy map it shows that very few countries in Africa get a literacy rate of 70% and higher. An education provides you with opportunities. Opportunities to get a job to make money, opportunities to find things that you enjoy, and opportunities to make connections to other people. Another very serious development problem would be AIDS and HIV and the lack of medicine to cure it. Africa is home to 70% of adults and 80% of children living with HIV in the world. It is estimated that in 2003 close to 2.3 million people died of HIV- related illness in Africa. Since the beginning of this epidemic more than15 million Africans have died from Aids. Aids have lowered the life expectancy rate to 40 or less in many countries! Although there is no cure for AIDS, drug cocktails and improved medical care in developing countries is significantly extending the lives of people living with HIV. Very few Africans can afford the drugs needed to fight AIDS, which can cost between $500 and $1,000 a month; also many African governments do not have funds to import these drugs. The average African nation spends less than $10 per person each year on health care. Of 24 million people or so with HIV, a large number of them don't even know that they are infected. To fight this lack of funds, the United Nations are urging developed countries to fund the war on HIV. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the words “Clean Waterâ€? I think of all the people in Africa who don't have access to clean water. We take its abundance for granted, but in much of the world, especially Sub-Saharan Africa, access to clean water is a luxury. According to the United Nations, more than half of Africa's population lacks access to clean water. That’s about three hundred sixty million people. Two of every five Africans lack access to an improved water supply. In rural Africa, women commonly walk 3.75 miles each day to the nearest water source to fetch water to drink. In some parts of Africa, women use up as much as 85% of their daily energy intake on getting water, increasing incidences of anemia which occurs when the level of healthy red blood cells in the body becomes too low and other health problems also occur do to lack of clean water. Having unclean water can result to bad sanitation which also impacts hygiene. The best way, so far, that this problem has been dealt with is by community effort. Community organizations donate and/or grant to help fix this problem. Unclean water contains bacteria, viruses, etc. In result many diseases are caught. Millions of people are stricken by diseases that could have been prevented if safe drinking water existed on the African continent. An example is Mozambique who has 42% of clean water! A really good solution that people came up with is the Play Pump system: while children have fun spinning on the Play Pump, water is being pumped from underground and it can produce up to 1400 liters of clean water each hour. The Human Development Index is used to distinguish whether a country is a developed, a developing, or an under-developed country, and also to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life. The different scores for each country are added and averaged as one final number. On the Human Development index it shows that Nigeria and other African countries have a score from 0-0.49 and is in the category of “lowâ€, which means that they don't have a good education, health and wealth system. This affects the popularity of the country and the population, making many people not wanting to live in that certain area because of that country's average score. Africa's living standard is extremely low, the average African has scarce access to safe drinking water and most commonly lacks plumbing. Sub-Saharan Africa in particular is one the world's poorest regions. According to the World Bank 74.9% of the population lived on less than $2 a day in 2003; 44% lived on less than $1 a day. Most of the foreign aid that is pledged rarely gets to Africa, foreign aid is needed, but they need us to teach them how to f
