Sample Sweepstakes / Lottery Scam Email:
KRASLOTEN LOTTOI NTERNATIONAL
Heineken, Susan Henk, MR.JAS VAN ROODE
Below is another scam sweepstakes / lottery winning notification
claiming to be from "Krasloten Lotto International". It might be believable (to
an idiot), if it weren't for all the misspellings, poor grammar and punctuation,
including even misspelling their own name. Note the email comes from a
free Hotmail account. One might reasonably expect that a lottery
sweepstakes that is giving away millions could afford to spend the (roughly)
4120/year to have their own domain, website and hosting. But no, this scammer
writes from Hotmail.
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.
