Congratulations from me and members of staff of the UK NATIONAL LOTTERY.

Yours faithfully,

MRS.SUSAN ALDA
Online coordinator for UK NATIONAL LOTTERY,
Sweepstakes International Program.

You must be 16 or over to play or claim a prize

What I can't believe is that the idiots included a phone number.

How should I proceed to mess with these 419ers?

seamus

Curious that it seems doubly legit (no request for money or secure information). Are you sure you didn't enter this draw?

Oh wait, didn't see the yahoo email address at the bottom :rolleyes:

TBH, if a person is greedy enough to try claim a prize in a draw they never entered, they deserve to be scammed.

Hobbes

Its probably a premium number. There was a similar scam like this in Ireland/Dublin.

It's just a variation on the 419 scam. Need bank details and copy of passport/etc.

TBH, if a person is greedy enough to try claim a prize in a draw they never entered, they deserve to be scammed.

Which is how most scams work. You believe you are getting something for nothing.

Irishstabber

I was sent this too. Its a load of Bull. Only difference is that I got it from a yahoo address.

bullrunner

reply and see what details they want....if they want a bank ac then tell them u need to set one up....then only give them half the info ....keep stringing them along

Sarsfield

Sooner or later they'll want an administrative fee, to be sent by Western Union cash transfer!

Tell them you've sent it, and send them on a wild goose chase. Do this several times until they get very upset with you. Then do it again for good measure. I have an anonymous pre-paid mobile phone number that I have sometimes given them. They actually do call! That really costs them especially if they're calling from Nigeria or wherever!

Whatever you do, don't supply any information that might identify yourself. These people are genuine criminals, with associates in Ireland. You don't want to get tracked down and hurt!

AdMMM

Apart from the dodgy sentence structure, that email is almost believable... until we get to the yahoo email part

Coming to think of it, I never get any of these so I'm gonna ressurect an old email account and try and claim my prize

fudiciary_agent226@yahoo.co.uk

What, was fiduciary_agent226 gone? I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone that falls for anything remotely like this. Even just reading the email and looking at the spelling and grammatical errors should give you some kind of inkling. And people think there's no point in learning to spell properly. The only reason this kind of thing still exists on the internet is because people are actually stupid (and greedy) enough to fall for them.

JungleBunny

Definitely a scam.

Some really stupid scams on this site too that I can't believe people will fall for.

daywalker

heres an example of a guy who led the scammers along apparently even getting them to go into banks and western union offices several times on the promise of sent funds

Ah, the scammers become the scamees.

I'm the sort that just hangs up on them if they ring or whatever.

Scambaiting is always fun.

daywalker

on that scambuster site, with the vicar IV reverse scam he actually got the scammers to send money the other way to prove that western union were not at fault, which the guy then donated to cancer research, just to give the scammers that warm feeling .

Should see the responses that he got from the scammers
http://www.scambuster419.co.uk/reactions.htm

he even got one of the scammers to meet him in a place that put the gut in full view of a webcam in central london
