Lottery

Hi All
If u receive an email from cresterlottosouthafrica.com
informing u that u have won 1 million 200 thousand in cash, do not give them
the details they ask for in their email, its a world wide scam. There are
people that have sent them money to complete the transaction and its not
just a few quid either.They are after your life savings.
Tell your friends about this one as there are a lot of vulnerable people out
there.
Regards Tacky.

Yeah

I already got that one, I have informed my email host about it! All you
have to do is follow up the addresses to see its fake, they even try to
redirect you to a real Swiss bank!

Actually I would recommend replying asking for more information.
There is a small chance you would joe job and innocent victim
but in reality you are just going to jam their inbox and make it
impossible for them to find the suckers amongst the flood of
bogus replies.

Really, I never would have guessed!

Really, I never would have guessed (although the scammers probably
already did!)

The fact that some people try this sort of thing time and again suggests
that some people don't figure it out.

I recently warned my kids (8 & 10) to just put the phone down when they hear
a recorded voice telling them they have definitely won anything. The
b******s tell them they've definitely won e.g. a trip to Disneyland, just
press 9.

Apparently 25 quid a minute rip-offs, you can't cut the &%+&4s off, and BT
claims they're powerless to stop them because they're based overseas. That's
worse IMO; at least some kid can't get conned and ripped off by the email
scam.

But people must fall for it - they wouldn't be doing it otherwise.

Ignorence is bliss,blah,blah blah.

They aren't doing it.

That is an urban legend
<http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/scams/mobile.asp> Although that starts
out talking about it with mobiles, it includes the one you suggest.
