If you received an e-mail similar to this, it certainly is a scam: http://www.internet-secrets.org/nigerian-2004-08-16.htm I myself have received quite a few of these lottery scam mails ... from the Swiss lottery, various Arabian lotteries, the United Kingdom, etc. Needless to say that all of them were typical so-called Nigerian Scams. Real lotteries don't notify their winners in such a ridiculous way. Scriptor |

No one, I'm afraid, gives away lottery prizes through the Internet to people who haven't even bought a ticket. |

Well, well The address checks out as a valid post code The mobile number replies 'calls to this number are barred' (possibly because I used 141 to conceal caller number - nope - tried it again without 141 - same result) The land line number is a Fax A pity because I was fully expecting to hear the indeciferable accent of a Nigerian 'guyman' on the other end, I fancied a laugh. However if that is not a Nigerian 419 advanced fee fraud, then Saddam Hussein is the secret head of Al Quaeda, and George Bush is really Shirley Temple in drag. |
