Sample Lottery Scam Email:
International Canada Lottery/Ontario 49 Soccer World Cup 2010
Promotional Draw
Ms. Lurie Segal, Mr. Austin Connor
This email claiming to be from the "Canada Lottery" for their
Soccer World Cup Promotion" ought to be an obvious scam to anyone: they use
hotmail and yahoo free email accounts, they claim to be from Canada, yet ask you
to call a phone number in South Africa, and can't even spell "February"
correctly. It is yet another variation of
the Canada Lottery scam.
Notice the gibberish writing,
excessive use of CAPITAL letters, poor punctuation and spacing, bad grammar and
spelling, etc. Note the other clues to an obvious fraud that we
have highlighted in the
letter; keep confidential, selected by a random computer lottery of email
addresses, use of free hotmail/yahoo email accounts, etc.
