Lottery Scam Email:
BINGO LOTERIJ INTERNATIONAL.NL
"Power of Attorney"
In this case, the victim replied to the scammer, "BINGO LOTERIJ
INTERNATIONAL.NL" and now the scammer tells him that he must come to the
Netherlands to sign a document. Of course, if the victim (we mean "winner")
can't make it, they can sign power of attorney to the scammer.
Let's review that: you are asked to give an absolute stranger
the legal right to sign any document on your behalf. If that sounds like a
bright move to you, we kindly suggest that you strike yourself repeatedly in the
head until you are unconscious. Obviously, less harm will come to you in
that state then when you are able to speak and write emails.
Below is the reply email from the "BINGO LOTERIJ INTERNATIONAL.NL".
There are many other signs that this is a fraud that we have
highlighted in the email below, not the least
of which are:
-
Terrible spelling, punctuation, syntax and grammar - Scammers
apparently don't know how to use spell checkers. We assume they
dropped out of school before that class. They use almost random
CapItaLiZAtion and often can't even spell "February" or know that "22th" ought to
be "22nd". Real lotteries proofread their emails and use people
who can write above the 3rd grade level.
-
Using free email account: The scammer is writing to
you from a FREE email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite, AIM, Gmail, etc.). Don't you think a real organization
would use its own email, its own domain and website?
Here is a typical scam lottery winning notification.
