Here is another fake lottery email.
If I only had a single dollar for every lottery I had supposedly won I would buy you all a drink
Sorry, no drinks on me
Notice the telephone numbers
Tell: +44 70457 34885 +44-70457-28105
Both are UK redirect nuumbers, the scammer could be anywhere in the world and still receive your call,
the person who set up this phone number is likely sitting in an internet cafe in Africa, and certainly not behind the desk at a lottery office.
I generally find the batch or ticket numbers the best way to prove these as scams so let's see if it passes the test.
