Fraud email example:
From: "KYTZIA EWELL" <ewellkytzia@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2007 09:10:49 -0700
Subject: NOTIFICATION
I have recently received an e-mail from The National Lottery to inform me of
the result of the last final annual draw from the INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY
Programs, wish said:
"The online cyber lotto draws was conducted from an exclusive list of
25,000,000 e-mail addresses of individuals and corporate institutions,
picked by an advance automated random computer search from the internet.
After this automated computer ballot, my e-mail address emerged as a winner
in the category "A" with the following numbers attached Reference Number: GP
14-M-246-04, Batch Number: 573881545-UK/2007 and Ticket Number: PP
3502-8707-01". Therefore I was going to receive a star prize of Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (2,500,000.) from the total
payout. I would like to know if I am really a WINNER or this is just a SCAM
from people playing mind games. I had put my e-mail address and information
on JUBILEE game to enter for a second chance drawing for two $250,000 grand
prizes and twelve $25,000 prizes. I am currently in Argentina and I do not
have the ticket to confirm the Reference Number, Batch Number, and Ticket
Number, I would appreciated if you inform me if I am really a winner. Thank
You
Sincerely,
Kytzia Ewell
