Sample Email Scams
Involving the British National Lottery
UKONL 2007 Lottery Program
"Marian Jones(Mrs)", "Gray Moore"
"UKONL 2007 Lottery Program" is another UK National Lottery Scam. Claiming to be the
"online version", the scammer will send you an email from a fictitious person
like "Marian Jones(Mrs)" and tell you to contact another fictitious person "Gray Moore" (their
"claims processor" or "fiduciary agent"). Of course, you cannot win ANY real
lottery without buying a ticket. There is no such thing as a "computer draw
system" and your email address cannot
and will never win any lottery! The names, "Marian Jones(Mrs)", "Gray Moore", may
be different; they keep changing them to con you!
Of course, there are only two legal lotteries in Britain,
the National Lottery
and
the Monday Lottery,
anyway, and they do
NOT use email to notify winners. Below is a scam email actually received.
DO NOT reply to any emails you receive that claim you have won a lottery that
you did not enter. They are frauds. You will lose your money.
There is no "free lunch"; don't be foolish and believe a scam! We can not
say it any more plainly: YOU WILL NOT BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL BY ANY
LEGITIMATE LOTTERY THAT YOU WON A PRIZE. If you do receive such an email,
it IS a fraud, do not reply to it! If you DID reply to one,
click here to
see what you will likely receive back.
For your education and entertainment, we have
highlighted some of the obvious
clues that this is a scam.
In the UK, call the hotline at 020 7211 8111 to check or report lottery scams.
