This is how it works.

If you receive an email or sms stating that you have won money from a UEFA/IMF/RICA/Etc. and you need to call Fred/Thabo/etc. on a phone number or Gmail/Yahoo account, the thread is to accumulate the amount of the scams. I post the first amount, but if you post, you need to add your amount you won to the previous poster's amount. Therefore accumulating the amount. If it is in another currency, convert it to Rand with an approximately exchange rate.

So, lets start:

I have won R940 000 in a RICA competition and need to email Fred. (next poster take the R940 000 and add the amount they won).

PS. The world GDP was approx. R710,830,000,000,000 (@R10 / $) for 2012. I bet we can get to that number quite quickly

Now add it up: R940 000 (mine) + R250 000 + R500 000 = R1 690 000

Given the average size of the "winning" in these scams, you'd need over a billion replies to get to that number...

Even if that was average, you'd still need tens of millions of replies. If you get that kind of response, yes, I will be amazed... :p

I doubt we will ever make it. But it is fun getting there.
