Wow! Yesterday it seems as if I actually won 990,513.00 Euro! Not, I’m afraid. The National Lottery AKA The UK International Lottery may or may not exist in real life, but if you received a mail like the one below, I’m afraid it’s nothing but an e-mail lottery scam.

  1. David Says:

    I just got one of these bogus notices in my email. One can only hope that the appropriate authorities will track them down and get their butts in jail, where they belong.

  2. Nikke Lindqvist Says:

    Well David,
    It’s sad, but it’s really difficult to get national police forces to cooperate across national borders. I think the scammers need to actually succeed with scamming a very well connected before anything actually will be done.

  3. Mark Says:

    I told them that when I recieved the check and it was deemed good by the bank that I would then pay the delivery fee.

  4. Sheila Says:

    I received a mail today.Strange that they mention all the countries but when you play online they are not aware which country you are from.They also have no website where you can check the numbers even though you never bought a ticket!

  5. Nikke Lindqvist Says:

    Hi Sheila,

    As you see, we are lots of “winners” in this lottery. The mistakes you mention are just more signs to look for when you want to tell a scam from the real thing. (Just as using an MSN address instead of the company mail.)

  6. Brenton Eliason Says:

    I got one, too. Obviously a scam. I will be attempting to get info. out to the authorities over the coming week.
    Goodbye, scamming buttholes!

  7. Pat Says:

    Yea i got one of those also, they could at least make a few changes in the winning #’s, we all have the same one!!! I wrote them and asked how much in American Money it was and never got a reply.

  8. Richard Says:

    I also received one of these messages. I emailed them back with this:

    Thank you for the lottery winning. However, I regret that am in no need of any more money at the moment as I am already quite wealthy, and this meager sum hardly seems worth my time. You may keep my winnings and do with them as you see fit.

  9. Nikke Lindqvist Says:

    Maybe they choose to only try to pick on the truly innocent replies, or else they quit, but their tame mail worm won’t.

    Who knows? Anyway I’m happy you all seem to appreciate the humor in it all.

  10. Kiwi Says:

    I just got one e-mail like this. I was stupid enough to believe that finally I could quit my job and travel around the world…. until I searched on google and found this site. Well, now I got to go to sleep and get up to work tomorrow morning….

  11. Nikke Lindqvist Says:

    In a way Kiwi, that sounds really terrible.

    Sometimes I wish I could run a site with only good news instead of this putting down of peoples hopes and expectations…

  12. vikas sandhu Says:

    ohh my god so much scaming. dont u hv any other work. plz dont play wid someones feelings coz it hurts a lot. get away otherwise i m going to kick u.

  13. steve Says:

    what a way to live your life scamming others of their hard earned money but as they say “a fool and his money are soon parted”

  14. steve Says:

    not only did i win the lottery but it appears i am also the sole beneficiary of a multi millionaire of whom im sure im not related O praises be i truely am a lucky man

  15. vijayakanth Says:

    hai,
    last week i have received a mail that i have won 926 million dollars in the UK lottery online promotion program. I know it was a scam but still i request not to allow such a blugards to mail so

    bye

  16. Nikke Lindqvist Says:

    vijayakanth,

    Wow! You must have the record! (Unless, of course, the sum was in Zimbabwian dollars.)

  17. sankar Says:

    sir

    is real, the rest is not! Surely with emails and phone #’s, you would think the
    police would have enough to find these people.

    Using Google Search to Find New Victims

    Posted: 18 Oct 2007 05:35 PM CDT

    By Coenraad De Beer

    I’ve heard of phishing scammers using Google Maps to reveal the location of a victim, but I haven’t heard of scammers using Goole Search to find the e-mail addresses of possible prospects for advance fee fraud. However I was surprised to find such a search last week when I browsed through the visitor statistics of cybertopcops.com.

    419 Scammers are starting to use technology more often to swindle innocent victims. We see advanced and professionally designed e-mails and websites, clever social engineering skills and scam e-mails targeted at specific people. That was probably the aim of the scammer who used Google Search to find Yahoo! and AOL e-mail addresses of people in the USA, who are desperately in need of funds. Yes the exact search string used by this scammer was “email address of people in the usa that are in need of fund @yahoo or aol mail”. The scammer landed on our Lottery Scams page where we refer to the fact that scammers often use Yahoo! and AOL e-mail accounts to distribute fraudulent e-mails. We recently made some changes to this page and as a result it’s no longer appearing in the results for this specific search string.

    A couple of things immediately caught my attention when I stumbled across this visit. The visitor was from Nigeria, with the IP address 196.1.179.153, one that is often involved in e-mail scams and spamming. His/her Internet service provider was Nitel, the principal telecommunications company in Nigeria. What struck me the most was the search string used by this visitor. Did the scammer really think he/she would find the e-mail address of a US citizen, looking for funds on the Internet, using a Yahoo! or AOL e-mail address and on top of that, leaving it on the web for anyone to use? It’s like going to Amazon, hoping to find specials on 419 Scam Victims, or having a victim delivered to you on a silver tray. But is a search like this, really that far-fetched?

    If you browse through the results of this search, you will find quite a couple of e-mail addresses, lying around for advance fee fraud scammers to use as they please. A couple of interesting theories came to mind when I analysed the search string.

    419 scammers are targeting people living in the United States. Why? Perhaps they have a better success rate with Americans;

    They prefer people using the e-mail services of Yahoo! and AOL. Why? The spam filter of Yahoo! and AOL is not as effective as Gmail’s and it is probably easier for scammers to get through to people who use these e-mail services. Also note that the scammer did not look for Hotmail e-mail addresses. According to 419eater.com, some scammers do not like to converse with Hotmail users; and

    They specifically target people in need of financial assistance. Why? People with severe financial problems are often desperate and will do anything to improve their financial position. 419 scammers exploit this desperation, making it easier to convince these victims.

    I understand that it is hard to base solid theories on a single incident, so these are only a couple of possibilities from a personal point of view. 419 scammers send e-mails to many countries, not just America, they send e-mails to Gmail and other e-mail accounts, not just Yahoo! and AOL and they send e-mails in bulk, like a spammer with a shotgun approach, they often have no idea who the recipients would be.

    What can we learn through this behaviour? Do not post your personal e-mail address in any public area on the web. Do not reveal your financial status on the web. Scammers will use this to their advantage. If they have your e-mail address in their possession and at the same time know about your financial problems, then they can send you a highly targeted and convincing e-mail, putting them in the right place at the right time. I still think it was wishful thinking by the scammer to do such a narrow search, hoping to find a victim that fits this profile. However, this scammer inadvertently revealed one of their harvesting methods, so lets take the necessary precautions and make it harder for scammers to find new victims.

    WARNING - WARNING - WARNING
    First if this is fraud I will not send my account details to you because the police can use it to locate me any time any day, is it possible for you to use your name and your personal account to get involve in scam?. I have worked with the British National Lottery for 7years, before they use to deduct the tax from the prizes until there was so many complain from the winners concerning losing large part of there prizes. This information leads to investigation that exposed some of the British National Lottery officials who deduct so much money from the prizes in the name of tax.
    When this prove came out there was a meeting between the officials of the company, the directors and the accredited Attorneys. Finally a decision was reached that nobody or institution will be authorized to deduct from the prizes, the company decided to insure the prizes. What shall I benefit to betray the trust you have on me? Do you realize that if I serve you better that you may introduce more clients to me? You have my name, account details and address; if I deceive you the police will locate me under seconds so why should I do it.

    Pure lie

    Hi, y’all
    I think i’m in big trouble.
    After hearing what u all said, i think i just lost US $200.
    I actually paid to claim my prize 2 weeks ago, and never got any reply since then.
    What should i do?
    Isn’t there a way to catch them, as they provide their adress, tel number, or track them while they are making calls.
