419 Scam – "FLASH FORTUNE LOTTO SOUTH AFRICA"

"FLASH FORTUNE LOTTO SOUTH AFRICA" is a "419" scam operated by criminals in South Africa. It is fake. No lottery by that name exists in South Africa. Fake winning notifications are mailed to thousands of recipients indiscriminately, in order to defraud them of bogus "processing fees".

Do not reply to this scam. If you have already replied, break off contact now. Do not give them any ID or send any money to them. These are criminals. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
