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 uses a yahoo.gr email address. Now how believable is that?
It’s nothing but yet another lottery scam.
