I just wonder why people would believe these scams. Is there not enough education in school or what? On the other hand, are there laws out there that can get these scammers prosecuted?

Erik | July 15th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

heres an idea! make ALL yahoo.uk emails verify they are not spam if they are sending email to the USA. its a start, and it will let all non-americans know that WE americans do not like spam!!!

Please note that this email addresses is normally supplied to us by free email and Organisation services providers .

In line with this, your e-mail address attached to ticket number 883734657492-5319 with serial number 7263-267, batch number 8254297137 which drew lucky numbers 14-22-28-37-40-44 which consequently won in the 1st category.

However, we clearly spelt out in our lottery terms and condition various modalities which those who emerged lucky winners are to use in collecting their prize money.

Please note that for this option, delivery cannot be carried out to P.O. BOXES.

However for the Courier delivery option which is for winners who do not reside close to London i.e. United Kingdom, you will be required to contact a courier company who will then ship your cheques or transfer their winning prize to them in their respective countries while they in turn pay the delivery expenses and proceed with the cheque to any bank in their country where the full value to the cheque will be paid to them.

Therefore, because you are not residing close to the United Kingdom, we have have forwarded your winning cheque and Certificate to the courier company who will be delivering it safely to you in your country.

In line with this, you are advised to contact the courier company for the cost of delivering your winning cheque of 500,000.00 safely to you in your country for cashing.

Attached to this mail is a copy of your winning certificate. I had to take out time to know how we can assist you in the proposal you made as regards collecting your winnings. I am sorry to state here that we do not hold winners fund and release or send the money parcially becuase it is not in cash.

The only way you can have your payment in bits is by you opening or activating an account with one of our affilliate banks. hence you can on your own transfer the funds at your convenience. To activate an account, you have two options.
1 is you can have our staff activate on your behalf or you can contact the bank yourself. I will advice you to activate a premium account as the sum you won is large. To do this will cost you just 5,000 pounds though there are other accounts that are cheaper to activate.

Please do get back to me on what you intend to do on this matter.

With Regards,
Edgar Walters (Fiduciary Agent)

Hello

I was rather surprised when I first realised that both my name and that of the franchise I own in Manchester, England, were being used in scam emails. Fastway Couriers (Greater Manchester) is working to ensure that any replies to us in response to these fake emails are answered promptly with full denials of our involvment.

Note. It’s important that you keep your winnings very confidential as we have received several bogus emails from person using winner’s identity to press for claims. We have paid several imposter’s who successfully represent themselves as winners probably because they got into winners identity. It’s important you heed to this advice.

I sent an email to the courier delivery company and said I would provide all the information and details in person for £400.00 cheque and not through an email or fax as requested . Obviously I am not going to hear from them, but the debt my ex left me in I dont really mind if they clone me , because the clone can have the debt too …… ..
If by any chance they contact me back I will keep you informed.. DUH

I am another who is also glad I found this site. Thank you, how can people do this to others, it is very disapointing. I got very excited thinking there may of been a slight chance it was true, and that just incase I should try to at least find out if there is a Yahoo lottery. It is such a shame these individuals prey on people that could really benefit from winning even a small amount of cash. I have had a really bad couple of years and I am glad that by reading your comments I did not make my life any worse. I hope you can stop these people one day.

@aneesh and @kalpana sengar - As the post explains, emails like this are a scam. There is no Yahoo! lottery. Feel free to forward the email to mail-spoof @ cc.yahoo-inc.com. You must include the full header or we won’t be able to research the sender. More on how to do that here.

With reference to your mail and from the directive of Mr GILLMAN ANTHONY,the FOREIGN SERVICE MANAGER,EURO AFRO-ASIAN YAHOO/MICROSOFT CORPORATION WORLD LOTTERY.

We have ascertained and verified the validity of your winning from our headquarter, UNITED KINGDOM, but you need to get a legal clearance from the Home office in London,United Kingdom to a sworn affidavit on your behalf for the notarization of your cheque.

As a result of this, you will be required to make a payment of (700GBP)SEVEN HUNDRED BRITISH POUNDS STERLING , to notarize your lotto prize cheque in the Magistrate court of Justice, this is in compliance to the UNITED NATIONS COUNTER TERRORISM/ANTI TERRORISM ACT ADOPTING RESOLUTION 1373 UNDER CHAPTER V11 OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER.

The notorized document and the receipt of payment will be released and issued in your name from the megistrate court of justice to our office subject upon confirmation of this payment which is payable to the magistrate court of justice through our legal department so that we can as well send your cheque to your designated address.

Please note that the 700 GBP you are required to pay, you are to pay in advance, as the fee is not deductable because what I have with me is your cheque and not cash, most importantly nobody can take any money from your cheque except you because the cheque has been issued and insured in your name with an insurance bond but before you the sole beneficiary can take any money, you must first and foremost register and notarize your cheque, hence you are required to make the payment of 700 GBP.

The notorization document and the receipt of payment will be released and issued in your name from the local court of justice to our office subject upon confirmation of this payment which is payable to the Magistrate court of justice through our legal department so that we can as well send your cheque to your designated address.

The notarization of your cheque is mandatory because it will be attached to your cheque before the courier service company can accept for the postage of your cheque due to the huge amount involved.

It is not the policy of the lotto company to accept fund from any of our winners, but it was resolved after the 9/11th of September, 2001, terorrist attached on world trade centre in the United States of America and the July 7th london bombings in the United Kingdom,Egypt and the more recently bombing around the globe, that to enhance speedy delivering of the won prize cheque to the beneficiary and to duly certify that the fund is not related to as DRUG MONEY,MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORIST SPONSORING FUND, the cheque must be notarized in the Magistrate court of justice here in London for it to be cleared by the courier service, to save time and cost it became imperative to request the notary amount in order to have the prize notarize in court and winners meet the deadline and subsequently post your cheque to your designated address.

You are directed to make this payment of 700 British Pounds in any of the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER AGENT offices address nearest to you to the Name of the Head Of Legal Department:

NAME:Surname……………. RICHARD

3)AMOUNT SENT———————–700 BRITISH POUNDS
4)MONEY TRANSFER CONTROL NUMBER———THIS IS A TEN DIGIT NUMBERS THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU BY THE WESTERN UNION AGENT.

Please note once your cheque is notarized, with the required notary back up document, your US$1M cheque will be delivered to your designated address, it is important that you know that without the notarization done, which requires you making a payment deposit of (700 British Pounds), the courier service company/Bank will not accept your US$1M Cheque for onward delivery of your US$1M to your address.
