"TINAPA LOTTO INTERNATIONAL" is a fake lottery scam run by Nigerian gang. No such lottery actually exists. The whole purpose of the "winning notification" is to trick "winners" (anyone who received this spam) into sending money to the criminals for processing fees, bank fees, courier charges, taxes and other made up excuses. No legitimate lottery will charge a winner any kind of fee. No legitimate lottery selects winners by randomly selecting email addresses.
Please forward us copies of any replies or money demands by the ""claims agents" (Yahoo Mail: Forward / as Attachment, Outlook Express: Message / Forward as attachment, see "How to report 419 spam to us"). We will publish such replies here.
Please forward copies of fraud emails to the abuse department of the webmail address listed as the contact email for the "claims agent". Ask for the addresses to be suspended because they are used in a 419 fraud (see 419 FAQ).
