I just cannot understand why scammers, and especially lottery scammers find it so difficult to format their sting mails properly. In my oppinion, presentation just has to be vital in a good scam. Transfer these scam emails to the offline world, think for a minute or two. If a rugged person who can hardly speak or pronounce a single sentence in English where to approach you to convince you that you had just won a million Euros… Would you, even for a second believe him or her?
Now, I don’t even for a second believe that Ms Annalisa De Vart or Mr. Willem Bouwt wrote the below e-mail. But if they had, and if there indeed was a million dollar cash price waiting for me.
I have a distinct feeling the mail would at least look better.
