419 Scam Example: "Schafthausen Lotterien"
"Schafthausen Lotterien (Wilf Trafford)" is a name used in a fake lottery scam by Nigerian scammers. No such lottery actually exists. The label appears to be derived from a misspelling of the city of Schaffhausen in the North-East of Switzerland, famous for its watches and a scenic waterfall but no lottery. The scam has no real connection to Switzerland. The scammers use +44 70 UK redirection service numbers to pretend to be a UK office of a Swiss lottery (real lotteries don't have foreign offices!), but it's just a service that incoming redirects calls to their mobile phones in Nigeria.
If you have received an email from these people: You didn't win anything, they are just trying to trick you into sending money to them.
Any winning notification that says you won money because your email address was selected at random is a scam. There aren't any lotteries worldwide that work this way. In fact the same email has been sent to tens of thousands of email addresses, not just yours. The criminals will try to steal money from anyone who replies. Any "courier service", "bank", "lawyer" or other player introduced to you by the "lottery" is fake.
Please break off all contact with these swindlers now, if you haven't already done so.
If you forward a copy of the email to 419@419scam.org then we'll add the email address(es) and other contact details of the scammer(s) to our public list of known scammers to warn others, who can then find them on Google.
What you can do is report email addresses used in online frauds to the abuse department of the email provider. Most email providers will suspend accounts being used for fraud and spam.
See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
