Take a few seconds and try to imagine that one of these lottery notifications where actually legitimate. Imagine winning 2.5 million dollars from a e-mail collecting service that had harvested your e-mail address from the web, and then just wanted to hand out all that cash to you. Yeah. Pretty hard to believe, isn’t it? […]
Lottery scams
Lottery scams are widely used by fraudsters to try to scam people for small to medium sized sums of money. In the worst cases they even manage to get access to your bank account!
6 Ball Games Lottery
If there was indeed a company running a lottery called the 6 Ball Games Lottery handing out cash prizes of 2 million pounds, wouldn’t you think that they would have a functioning web site? Wouldn’t you expect them to send out their winning notifications from their own domain rather than from an msn.com address? And […]
Euromilliones Español S.L. repeating themselves
Nobody knows what went wrong when Promotion Director ”Alvaro Manuel Pablo” or agent Vincente Garcia where compilating and sending out this lottery scam spam. They only sent one mail, but they managed to repeat their message four times in the same e-mail. And it’s a lottery scam allright. It bears all the markers such as […]
Superbal E-mail Lottery International
Again, I’ve won two million Euro lotteries in one day! Not bad. Even though the mail below asks me to keep this confidential, I’ll publish the winning notice. After all, it is nothing but a scam. One thing that keeps surprising me with these lottery scams is that they so often are sent to an […]
Dayzers Lottery
If there was a ten-million Euro lottery, and you run it. Wouldn’t you see to it that all that played left there full name, phone number, nationality and country of recidence? I would! After all, that would be the only gain from running such a lottery. And even if you had 10,000,000 contestants, I’m not […]
Swip Financial Holdings – Trust International Lottery
God knows I could use some cash right now, but this Award Winning Notification sure won’t help me. It’s a scam, and it is probably sent out to at least the 25,000 e-mail addresses mentioned in the mail. The really sad part about this mail is that this was sent to my pong email address, […]
The UK International Lottery
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.
Western Lotto Spain S.A – another lottery scammer
It’s been a while since I last won 750,000 dollars, but today it looks as if my luck changed again… Actually, this email is better worded than any lottery scam I have received before. Therefore, if you got one of these, and had enough wits to do a search before responding, calm down. It’s all […]
Maria Jose Sanchez, Afriglobal
I’m wondering if how to take the fact that I, during the last couple of days have received a few lottery mails where the scammers actually seem to know my name. Alas, only my first name, since they want me to send in my full name, my phone and fax nummer as well as my […]
Dr. Maggi Hinges, Globe Net Lottery International BV
Nowdays, I don’t publish every single lottery scam I receive. It’s a sad fact, but this site would look way to boring if I did. These iScams just don’t have enough ingenuity and originality to be worth publishing. But hey, I just have to pop the question: Who would even start thinking the below mail […]
