SWISS-LOTTO Satellite software email lottery

I almost thought I would never get another lottery notification mail, but this weekend, almost to my relief, this one slipped through my spam filters. I have never come caross the SWISS-LOTTO Satellite software email lottery before, and it differs a bit from other lottery scams since it actually parasites on a real lotto site, the quite legitimate SwissLos. However, there is no such thing as a UK subset of SwissLos, and if you know the first thing about the Swiss, you’d know that they are pretty good att taking care of money, and keeping records.

Besides. Why should a Swiss lottery send out emails using a domain such as hostle.net (the return path goes to nobody@webserver2.hostle.net)? And why on earth should they use a  yahoo.co.uk email address for correspondance?

The Swiss-Lotto UK is nothing but a sham and falsification. Here’s the mail, and yes, it happens to be sent out from
