Make distant family Well even yesterday I got an email stating that I have won the Euro Lottery. It told me to contact them. I also received a same kind of letter 2 years back. And in that letter I actually contacted them but they said to me that to proceed further they require me to send them some money. It was about $5000. So I didn't proceed. This thing is Fake. Only believe in those lotteries in which you entered yourself. These sort of letters are fake. They are just a scam to make money. give me some money please! Appears to be one of those one letter fits all phishing scams to steal your identity. Do not be fooled. Okay, here's what happens next. You email them for your prize, they start asking for personal information...then they ask for routing numbers (like your banking numbers). It is a scam!
Best Wishes! Its a scam, I get them all the time but I delete them. They could contain a virus etc. Think of it this way, why would you get an e-mail stating that you won overseas and not someone in their own country? I mark them as spam
I am updating this to show you what I just got
Subject: For your consideration.

I am Mr. Peter Hammond, a Canadian Attorney based in Manchester, United Kingdom and the personal Attorney to Late Mr. Mark.Late Mr.Mark was a private oil consultant with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Saudi Arabia before his death. My client, his wife and three children lost their lives in a plane crash in 2003. My several attempts to locate any of his relatives as directed by his Bank has been unsuccesful.

The deceased had a deposit valued presently at (拢12,000,000.00) and his Bank has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or beneficiary by will, otherwise the account would be confiscated. Already, I have set out modalities for achieving my aim of appointing a next of kin as well as transfer the money out of this country, for us to share the money in the ratio of 50% for me and 40% to you, The 10% of the fund will serve as reinmbursement of expenses any of us will incure on this course of the transaction and donation to Charity Organizations. It is my intention to achieve this transfer in a legitimate way, all I require is your honest co-operation,confidentiality and trust to enable us see this transaction through.

Private telephone number and fax number. B. Your postal/residential address. C. Identification/Occupation. Further details await you upon a positive response from you. Yours faithfully. Peter Hammond(Esq)
Its all a scam like we have all told you, they just want your info and many people fall for it...... I just sent it to spam... I've seen two versions of this
In one, they ask you to "verify" personal information, which is never a good idea to release. It can be used for identity theft.
In the other, they will ask for a cash advance, to cover the taxes and electronic transfer fees. You send them cash, and you never hear from them again. But, they have your bank routing number and can clean out your accounts.
The easiest way to tell it is a scam... you didn't buy an Australian lottery ticket. It sounds too good to be true.Besides,like what other users above have written, why would they allow other overseas users to win instead of users in their own country? It would be comparatively easier for them to collect the Prize wouldn't it. I quote, "This Lottery was promoted
and sponsored by a conglomerate of some multinational
companies as part of their social responsibility to
the citizens in the communities where they have an
operational base. " , most legitimate lotteries would want , and be asked to state the companies' names which are sponsoring , (for publicity,or other reasons). Note that they mention companies,but do not actually state the names, or even countries where these "companies" are from. Don't try to claim the prize. It's a scam. no i promise you it is not real i get those all the time they want your bank info and they burn you bad take all your bank money and any iformation they can get Its a scam and I received one as well and turned it into the KBI, who is investigateing it, turn them into your local authorities as well. |
