This morning when I was doing some gardening, I heard our telephone ringing. I rushed in and managed to pick it up. The guy over the other end was congratulating me and saying that I won a first prize. He was talking really fast, with foreign accent so it was a little difficult to catch what he was saying. 

Finally, after asking him some questions, I found that I had won some best nonstick cookware from their company. But the funny thing was, I had not entered any contest lately, so how did I win? The guy replied that my telephone number was picked as the winning number. Lucky me! But I did sense something was not right. 

I was waiting for the catch. And sure enough, he started asking me for more personal details like name and address and bank account number. I gave him some fake details as I wanted him to continue with his plan for I was curious about their intention.

They finally revealed that I was needed to send them some "administrative fees" in order to "process" my "prize". This was where I told them I was not interested. You want to con me? Maybe 100 years later.
