Christmas displays seem to be arriving in the shops earlier and earlier. Not to be left out, the scammers are already sending out 'Christmas Lottery' results.
It seems that I am meant to believe from an email that starts 'Dear Recipient' that I won a lot of money in a Christmas Lottery Draw in September 2007 (September??). Then again, it's still August. Maybe the 'cliams agent' could buy 'Williams' a calendar?
Search engines find multiple mentions of 38.119.107.74 in relation to an alleged hacker from Gdynia in Poland. Quite possibly it is a proxy that is now being used by someone else.
