Canada Lottery/Ontario 49 Soccer World Cup 2010Celtel International Prize Promo

Sample Lottery Scam Email:
International Canada Lottery/Ontario 49 Soccer World Cup 2010 Promotional Draw
Ms. Lurie Segal, Mr. Austin Connor

This email claiming to be from the "Canada Lottery" for their Soccer World Cup Promotion" ought to be an obvious scam to anyone: they use hotmail and yahoo free email accounts, they claim to be from Canada, yet ask you to call a phone number in South Africa, and can't even spell "February" correctly. It is yet another variation of the Canada Lottery scam.

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.
