Lottery Scams - Reply from
the Scammers at:
Zürich Lotterien
"Mrs. Kirt Loberg"
If you replied to the email from "Mrs. Kirt Loberg" at "Zürich Lotterien" telling you that "your
email address won in the second category" or something similar, you will
probably get one of the emails below back from the scammers. Note the snide
tone. Scammers will try any approach to scam you, but often they become
frustrated and angry when people are always easily conned fools and challenge
their nonsense. See the
original scam email on this page.
Although the most important clue is that no legitimate
lottery will ever email a winner, nor require a winner to pay any fees, taxes or
delivery charges, there are many other signs that this is a fraud. We have
highlighted some of these in the email below, not the least
of which are:
-
NO LOTTERY ANYWHERE REQUIRES WINNERS TO PAY FEES,
TAXES OR OTHER CHARGES TO COLLECT THEIR WINNINGS!!! Can we say it any
more plainly than that?
-
Pigeon English - Notice that as the scammer gets past
the initial template email and must write free-form, how his grammar,
spelling and basic sentence structure go straight in the toilet. The
scammers don't even know how to use spell checkers. After all, this is
a stupid, low-life criminal in the heart of Africa, who probably dropped out
of school at age 5 to join a gang or militia. Obviously, real lotteries also proofread their emails
and look and read more professional.
-
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?
-
Keep Confidential - Real lotteries THRIVE on
publicity - they don't want you to keep anything secret - the publicity
causes people to buy more tickets. there is NO risk of "double claiming"
because they can validate where the ticket numbers were sold. The scammer
want you to keep quiet because they don't want the police or
ConsumerFraudreporting to hear about them! It should read: "For our own security, you
are advised to keep your winning information confidential until we have
finished scamming you!"
Here is a typical scam lottery winning notification.
Actual scam reply email (One example - the scammers constantly change
names, dates and addresses!):
This is in response of your mail.
I write to inform you that my office is not in the position to act otherwise
based on the following counts;
1. We are not transacting a business with you, so
you are not in any position
to negotiate any proposal with my company.
2. We are obliged to work in accordance with the laid
dowm voc and laws from
the lottery firm where the consignment was passed to us, which states that your
consignment should be delivered to you in it's present state.
3. Your consignment contains a lottery winning cheque, a winning statement
and a certificate.
You are required to acknowledge receipt of this e-mail so we can in turn
advice you on how to make the payment for the required charges.
Your consignment will be dispatched when this modality is in place.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kirt Loberg.
