NOTICE: Another Spam Email: I haven't seen this one before, so I thought I would post it for everyone to see.
See below for the completely bogus reasons why this could not be a real situation:
"Due to mix up of some names and addresses, You are advised to keep this winning very confidential until you receive your lump prize in your account. This is a protective measure to avoid double claiming by people you may tell as we have had cases like this before,"
In any countries, lotteries are highly regulated by their governments. If there was a mix up of names and addresses, there would be alot of poop hitting the fan, internal investigations, law suits, and possibly shutting down the lottery.
This would be a massive topic for discussion that would hit the news on TV, Radio and be blogged about all over the internet.
This is a protective measure to avoid double claiming by people you may tell as we have had cases like this before,"
Seriously, if this lottery organization kept having these problems, they would be deemed completely incompetent and would be stopped from operating almost immediately.
