First of all. There is no ”E-mail address ballot lottery international program” with the UK National Lottery. And we’ve been through this so many times on this site, that it feels as if I’m repeating myself. The below e-mail is a scam. An attempt by fraudsters to cheat me, and whowever else got it, on [...]

Mary and Robert Ugo in Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire
2007-11-11 Av 21 kommentarer
The Ivory Coast (Cote D’Ivoire) must be full of rather well-off orphans seeking financial guardians. At least if I would believe the number of e-mails sent to me with queries if I would like to act as their guardian and assist them in their quest to transfer their funds. In this e-mail the sum is [...]
Euromillion Loteria Español and Redboath Finance and Securities S.L.
2007-11-10 Av 81 kommentarer
A new lottery scam. At least this is the first I have heard from them. It’s a scam of course. It has all the markings. A lottery price out of the blue without ever purchasing a lottery ticket (especially not in Spain and for the Euromillion Loteria Espanño), an irrelevant e-mail domain name, a second [...]
Brittish Lottery – Stella Roberts
2007-11-05 Av 57 kommentarer
Yet another lottery scam, this time labeled Brittish Lottery has landed in my inbasket. The sender alias is Mrs Stella Roberts, and the claims agent alias isAnthony Pedro. Both using yahoo.co.uk addresses. I’m urged to call a phone number in the UK: +447045750626, and they are in a hurry. If I don’t call them within 3 working days of their notification, my winnings will be revoked. Oh, and of course, they want me to keep quiet about it.
Hajia Faridat and a widow's funds
2007-11-03 Av 2 kommentarer
Now why would a Burkina Faso based financial consultant want to contact me via an undisclosed-recipients e-mail list with an offer to safe-keep 11 million dollars for a client, and find it necessary to reveal the fact that the client is a widow? I can see no reason at all, other than the fact that [...]

Miss Angela Kennedy from Eritrea
2007-10-31 Av 16 kommentarer
The amount of scam mails ending up in my e-mail accounts are just incredible these days. In todays catch is also a Miss Angela Kennedy, and I must say that the scammer behind the alias has a lot of imagination. There are some really good story tellers in Nigeria, that’s for sure. So who want’t [...]

Mrs Maryann Gbagbo – another benevolent scammer
2007-10-31 Av 2 kommentarer
Another benevolent scammer has turned up. Mrs Maryann Gbagbo is just one more of the scammer aliases that involves our gread. Who would not want to lay their hands on her inheritance of 2.8 million dollars? This is a classic 419 scam, where a childless widow wants to give her money away to charity projects. [...]
New Aliases: Peter Raymund and Margaret Ferguson
2007-10-31 Av 83 kommentarer
I don’t know if the lottery scammers have taken to writing more and shorter mails because of sites like this, but the last few days I have received several e-mails like this one. Very short, and with very few searchable keywords execpt for the names of the person who writes them and the so-called payment [...]
Yahoo! International Promotion Program scam
2007-10-29 Av 88 kommentarer
Lately, a large number of lottery, and 419 scammers have been using Yahoo! addresses. They are much more common than Google’s Gmail service. However, and ironically, not this one, that claims to be a winning notification from the ”Yahoo” International Promotion Program”, is a scam email that doesn’t use a Yahoo address, even if they [...]
Rev Williams Brian
2007-10-25 Av 9 kommentarer
One funny thing with Nigerian 419 scammers is that they have so many difficulties with understanding first names and surnames. Reverend Brian Williams would have a much better pick than Reverend Williams Brian, don’t you think? As always when the scammers use addresses that I have never sent one single mail from, however, it’s published [...]
Jane Furness Gordon and the Powerball prize award
2007-10-23 Av 49 kommentarer
Some spammers are easier to detect than others. The first giveaway is that they tend to use strange Yahoo! domains for sending their mail. This one, acting under the alias of David Thomas Clark, urges me to contact a Ms Jane Furness Gordon, who is supposed to be working for a company in England, but [...]
Another Microsoft Lottery scam
2007-10-22 Av 79 kommentarer
Scammers have been using well-known brands as originators for lottery scams for several years now, and Microsoft isn’t a new name. This lottery scam, from the alias Ben Clark, must however be one of the worst written notifications I have ever seen. The lack of formatting, the ridiculous sum of a million pounds and the [...]

Pastor Powell has willed me his money
2007-10-11 Av 65 kommentarer
Pastor Powell and Armed Hassan are two new scammer aliases that I haven’t come across earlier. I cannot find any other accounts of these aliases, but the content of the mail is a good example of a classic 419 scam, and the originating computer has the IP Address 77.70.128.170 which is registered in Nigeria.
