Lottery Scam
8/25/2006 5:22:57 PM
Hello all!

I received the following email in my inbox (not here at Adland). I rarely use the email address.

I have never signed up for any online lotteries, and therefore they do not have the right to contact me.

Be careful out there!

Toodles,

Lisa :)

Dear Friend....!

Thank you for your invitation.

One of my friends - here in Dubai - received such a mail long back stating that he has won U.K. Lottery.  The amount was in some Millions and on going through, it was declared that, he had to pay some good amount in Thousands of Pounds as their service & courier charges.

So....let us be very careful about these types of Scams.

Thanking you, once again, for bringing this to everyone's knowledge.

With Warm Regards and Best Wishes....!

Your Ever Loving Friend,

Gani.

Hi, Thanks for the heads up. These things have been around since I started on the Internet almost 9 years ago. They have taken on many forms from the Nigerian scam to a relative has left many millions and now to lotteries.

What gets me is the lengths people will go to so they can Scam others. Is it desperation, stupidity or an act of genious as it has paid off for some of these scutter bugs handsomely. #1 Rule Of Thumb...If It Asks YOU to Pay For it to get YOUR Winnings, Inheritence, or whatever they claim; it is most definately a SCAM...so buyer beware and look out for these types a cyber parasites.

Thanks for the alert. I hope everyone takes heed to your Alert!

Sincerely,

Laurie Brandt

This would be so easy to fall for, I will make triple sure I sign into my account through my Browser to check and NEVER click on a LINK in an email. I hope you reported this to Paypal...parasites, they are human PC viruses that do very bad things!
