I’ve just won $600,000! NOT…

First, I’m sorry that today’s post is late.  I forgot it was Sunday and didn’t get anything ready.  Now, perhaps, I know why.  Today when I logged onto Facebook, I received the following message, ostensibly from a “Facebook Online Coordinator.”  [I wonder what the “Offline” Facebook Coordinator does…]

James Hughes (JH):  Good day My name is James Hughes, I am a Facebook Online Coordinator. How are you doing today?

JH:  I am contacting you because I have good news for you from Facebook.

Me:  And what is that "good news?"

JH:  Have you heard of the recent Facebook Online Lottery?

Me:  No.

JH:  Very well then I'll bringing you up to speed.

JH:  The lottery program which is a new innovation by Facebook, and it's aimed at saying a big thank you to all our users for making Facebook their number one means to connect, communicate, relate and hook up with their families and friends over the years.

Me:  Tell me more. At this point it sounds like a scam.

JH:  A SCAM??

JH:  then you're absolutely wrong

JH:  The online draws was conducted by a random selection of emails you were picked by an advanced automated random computer search from Facebook

JH:  And I'm pleased to inform you of the result of the just concluded annual final draws by Facebook group in cash new year promotion to encourage the usage of Facebook worldwide. Your name was among the 20 lucky winners who won $600,000.00USD

Me:  And how do I claim this prize?

JH:  Firstly, your award is attached to Lucky Number (FB-225-36-46-12), Ticket Number (FB-172-60), Batch Number (FB-02/544) and Serial Number (06-2140)..Note them down now on a safe place and keep its very important. Let me know when done putting it down.

Me:  Given that I'm keeping this message stream, they should be available whenever I want them.

This is the last message I’ve received so far.  All the previous messages were answered almost immediately, but it’s been over 15 minutes since I sent the last message and I’ve received no further messages.  I’m guessing that no one else has taken the “conversation” further than this and they have to develop the script to answer this question.  Or they are worried that I’ll be able to actually do something about this “non-scam.”

I’ll keep you posted, when or if, I actually get another message from them.
