Lottery Scam Email:
Zürich Lotterien Program
Andrea March, Heinz Frazier
This Zürich Lotterien Program scammers are quite persistent.
They sent this one intended victim 5 emails trying to con her. Look for the
obvious problems: loads of spelling errors, lotteries NEVER email the winners and since when do lotteries choose winners who
didn't buy a ticket, choosing winners "from an exclusive list of 20,000,000
e-mail addresses"? And the Swiss lottery is located in... London???
They even claim that the UK lottery operator, Camelot, is running it!
See this variation of the same scam.
Gee, and they only want you to send all your personal
information, including you bank account numbers!
Below is another example of a fake lottery; these 5 emails claiming to
be from the "Zürich Lotterien Program".
Note the usual clues to an obvious fraud that we
have highlighted in the
letter.
And for an even worse attempt Microsoft scam,
see this page.
