Lottery Scam: XXXZZZ

Sample Lottery Scam Email:
XXXZZZ

Below is another actual scam email purporting to be from the "XXXZZZ"  Note some of the obvious clues that is is a scam, highlighted below, that it is a scam:

• No lottery EVER contacts winners: winners MUST contact the lottery first.

• the return email addresses are free Yahoo email accounts, not a lottery company email address.

• The recipient "won" without buying a ticket (by definition, no legal lottery operates this way)

• the winner was selected from a "computer ballot system" (there is no such thing)

• The money is part of a promotion, but no one's ever heard of it.  It must be the world's worst promotion.

• "For security reasons" you're not allowed to talk to anyone about it (especially the police or consumerfraudreporting.org!) - which ought to be odd since lotteries thrive on publicity!

• Notice all the misspellings, poor punctuation and grammar - not very professional.

• No consistency: of contact information, multiple names, and email addresses
