Protect Yourself and Report the Latest Frauds, Scams, Spams, Fakes, Identify Theft Hacks and Hoaxes
There are affiliate links on this page.

If you received the email that begins "The prestigious Microsoft and AOL..." and replied to it, this is what you would get back from the "courier service" (i.e., the scammer), JascoCourier Services Ltd : an email offering you several options to PAY them to deliver your winnings. Of course, this is nothing more than a scam and a fraud. NO legitimate lottery, sweepstakes or promotion can (by law) require you to pay to receive a prize.
If that is not enough to prove this to be a fraud, notice other clues and mistakes the scammer makes. Look at the address. Since when is Conwy located in London? Last time we looked, it was still in North Wales (quite a nice castle there). Also notice the gibberish writing and 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 email accounts, strange use of capital letters, revering first and last names, numerous misspellings, syntax and punctuation, etc.
