Lottery Scam Email:
GLOBAL SWEEPSTAKE LOTTERY WINNINGS PROGRAMS
"Kate Watters, Barrister Ali Ibrahim"
Have you received an email from "GLOBAL
SWEEPSTAKE LOTTERY WINNINGS
PROGRAMS" telling you that "your e-mail address attached to ticket
number... ....won you the lottery in the 2nd category". It is a scam. Of course, NO lottery selects winners from "email addresses".
No organization, anywhere, is going to hand out millions of dollars or pounds to
random strangers, who did not buy a ticket, simply because they had an email
address in a computer somewhere.
Below is another example of a fake lottery; this email claims to
be from the "GLOBAL SWEEPSTAKE LOTTERY WINNINGS PROGRAMS".
Note the additional usual clues to an obvious fraud that we
have highlighted in the
letter, such as the use of free email accounts (like Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite,
AIM, etc.), misspellings, poor grammar and syntax, strange and erratic use of
capitalization, claims that "your email address was attached to winning
ticket..." or "winners were selected by a computer ballot draw system", etc.
And for a similar example using the same names,
see this page.
