This video brings up bad memories from the past. Let me fill you in on the story. When I saw 12 I entered a competition on the internet and three lucky winners were to receive a loaded, spanking new S80 worth close to €32 000. All we had to do was to pay the invoice for winners tax which was a reasonable €130.

5 weeks later I received a big envelope and inside it was a letter and a certificate that I was one of the winner! For the first time in life I experienced the hight of joy, I'm jumped up and down the house, screamed and told my mom who even called to Africa telling cousins and relatives about it.

The only way I could describe how happy I was, is by levitating 6 cm over the ground. Next day I meet with my school mates on the bus and told them about the good news, but after the first lesson of the day which was PE, a class mate came up to me with a newspaper which had a small article on the front page stating that 219 people had received letters stating that they had won an S80. Apparently it was a scam and the Police was urging the "winners" not to pay the winners tax.

At first I couldn't believe it that what I was reading was true, but after an hour or two it hit me that I'm not getting the S80 which I had been dreaming about all night. I was completely crushed for close to a week.
Owch! I feel sorry for you even if it is a Volvo, it is a great shame to get yours hope up then be knocked down
