9. You Just Won the Lottery
How cool is this? Here you are minding your own business when all of a sudden you get an email saying you won a lottery overseas. The cool thing about all of this? You never even entered a lottery! How lucky are you anyway? All you have to do is send them the $100 processing fee and they send you the check. Now this one would only work if you are a total idiot, but hey, they keep rolling scams like this out, so there must be a lot of total idiots out there. Look, you did not win a lottery that was based out of Kenya, and if you did, then there is obviously no way you need to pay them to get your money. Come on man, do I really need to explain this? Some of these you should be able to see coming a mile away.
