ALL the lotteries, draws, compensation schemes, inheritances, payment agent or mystery shopper jobs and business proposals offering huge sums of money are SCAMS. You CAN'T WIN a lottery or prize draw you HAVEN'T ENTERED. Please don't post comments asking if the SCAMS you have received are real. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS IN A COMMENT ASKING SCAMMERS TO CONTACT YOU (yes, people really do this regularly!)

Congratulations!!!

There is no such think as the De Lotto Internet Sweepstakes.  This is just a scammer, who is hoping you will be taken by his story.  If you make the mistake of replying, this scammer will start asking you to send money to pay fees.  Just delete this email.

Congratulations Your winning Reference # is: M728182F

…….. and I’m “happy to announce to you” that this is a scam.  There is no such thing as the Coca-Cola annual on-line free draw and you haven’t won anything.

This is a scammer – who is hoping you will be taken in by his story and then start sending him your money when he starts demanding fees.  Ignore him (or her).

Congratulations,

We are happy to announce to you [Continue reading Congratulations Your winning Reference # is: M728182F]

What a load of rubbish.  Who makes up these silly names that the scammers use???  I’m sure I’ve seen the name williamsalberton on a scam before.  Probably because this scammer is too lazy to even write their own scam and has just copied an old one.

Just ignore this idiot.  If you reply you will just find yourself being asked to send money to the scammer.

Winning Details/Information – Cash prize of ?10,0000,000.00.

“Mrs. Maria Lee” tells me she intends to “sensitize the public”.  Don’t worry love, I’ve done it for you.  You’re a scammer.  There, that should do it – now everyone who reads this blog knows.

I received this bit of rubbish twice, with two different subject lines, and both sent from the same IP address in Nigeria.  I picture two scammers sitting side by side in an internet cafe!

Just ignore them.  You can’t [Continue reading Winning Details/Information – Cash prize of ?10,0000,000.00.]

Dear Lottery Player,

What a load of rubbish.  There is only one way to win the UK National Lottery and that is to buy a ticket.

There are no double claims by “close friends relatives, attorneys and third parties” and we don’t have “attorneys” in the UK.  Clearly this scammer doesn’t even live in the UK. (His/her ip address resolves to Portugal).

All this scammer wants is your credit card details so they can help themselves to your [Continue reading Dear Lottery Player,]

Letter Attached

This load of rubbish came as a pdf attachment – presumably to avoid being zapped by spam filters.  As it says at the top of this blog, you cannot win a lottery that you haven’t entered.  There is no such thing as the “Yahoo & Microsoft Internet Lottery Awards”.  If you make the mistake of replying you will find a scammer asking you to send money.

TOYOTA MOTORS CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL

Here we go again!  Another fake lotto draw.  There is no such thing as the “Toyota International Lotto”.  The only reason “you are advised to keep your winning information confidential and private” is so that no-one stops you from replying to this scam.

This is a lazy scammer, who couldn’t even be bothered to change the date – it’s Nov 2010 now,  but this scammer claims the draw took place in Jan 2010.  He/she [Continue reading TOYOTA MOTORS CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL]

rtypkkkkkkkkk@att.net writes to tell me to “VIEW THE ATTACHMENT MESSAGE AND REPLY URGENT”.  What a nice, reassuringly relevant email address – heavy sarcasm there folks.

I can’t be bothered to pick all the holes in this scammer’s attachment – I’d be here all morning, and you’d die of boredom reading it all.  As usual, just ignore this scammer who’s only aim is to get his hands on your money by charging you fees.  Ignore [Continue reading YOU HAVE WON US$2,950.000.00 ON E-MAIL]

What a lot of rubbish.  There is no such thing as the “powerball inter lotto BV” – this is a scammer who is hoping you will be taken in by their ridiculous email and start sending them money.  If you make the mistake of replying, this scammer will start asking you to send money to pay fees.

Just ignore this scammer.

“in an effort to reduce the impact of food and financial crisis around the world” this scammer has decided to send me $380k “to salvage” my “finances“.

What a lot of *******.  This scammer doesn’t want to send me money – he or she is hoping I (or you) will start sending him money.  If you make the mistake of replying you find yourself being asked to send money to pay fees.
