Please help me admin , i'm new here
Thank
for help!

It's the usual scam message. You can't win a lottery you did not enter. UK National Lottery only sell tickets in UK shops and UK outlets and you present the ticket to an official outlet for checking. Camelot do not have your email address or anyone elses either. You would be asked, in this case, to send money via Western Union to "release the funds" but there is no money, no winnings, and the email lottery described does not exist, never has and never will. Such messages are always a scam.
The link sent is to Camelot/UK National Lottery and the scammer has just copied the result of the latest ticket draw, which is shown on BBC TV each week, to support his lies. Tickets cost a pound so if you didn't buy a ticket you win nothing.

Oh, thank for help!
And i have another question.
First, how can anyone or a SCAMMER maybe sent his/her mail to unaddressed mail?
I have a look the mail detail, and there's no recipients!
CC? BCC? I don't know.
See this :

Second, i have some mail that sent to mail himself, can be in my mail? Is this trick? Or using CC? BCC? Whatever?
See this :

Oh, ya, i'm forgot. When i close the mouse to the sender, it says "[email protected]"
Its hard to capture the message.
Third, some scam mail said him/her have read my profiles, where did they find it?
I NEVER give my profile, especially foreign except this forum, facebook, twitter, and some forum.
I capture it directly from my yahoo mail.

Thanks for explanations.

Showing a fake sender address isn't difficult but if you know how to look at the header information, it will reveal where the mail actually came from. There are other ways to show fake sender addresses, so accepting that a mail is genuine just because the sender information looks trustworthy is risky.

THe FBI are not sending you messages either. [email protected] is a fake email address to convince victims that something is real. I think this may be a money recovery scam. Have you sent money to anyone from internet using Western Union in the past? Never do that as it is always a scam. If you have done so I am afraid it is gone for good and you will get nothing.

Oh, thanks for all.
Yeah, fortunately not, i'm never sent money to anyone. Because first, i don't know who is he. Second, i have no money.
Yeah, this is the another one:

Yeah, honestly, i want to share to all of you people, but Indonesian government block the login page an sign up page.
But, I have to share to all of you that i have received three scams.
Here you are :
First scam :

Name: Mrs. Jenifer George M.
phone:27/
email: [email protected]

Attn: sir/madam,


Please don't be surprise to see this urgent proposal from someone that needs an urgent
assistance. I see you’re contact from the internet in one of the South African chambers of commerce website.

My name is Mrs. Jenifer George the wife of late Mr. George Mamunna of bulawayo province in Zimbabwe. My husband was brutally murdered by the so call peace movement organizations, members of President Robert Mugabe's, party over our farmland and properties in my country Zimbabwe.

In the past year President Mugabe instructed all the white farmers in my country to evacuate their farms and properties and go back to their country without any compensation. My late husband and some other members of Zimbabwe farmers association (ZFA) did not support president Mugabe’s idea's, they team together to see if they can resolve the issue of the white farmer, to make sure that they didn't lose their farms they have labored for years, not knowing that some of them are traitors.

President Mugabe find out about this plans of my late husband and few others. He sent his hit men to assassinate my husband without any causes before the death of my husband he made it clear to me that he can join his ancestors at any time he told me that he and the treasurer of Zimbabwe farmers association (ZFA) Mr. Brian Patey, (a white farmer) had deposited with a security company in South Africa the sum of $40million (Forty Million United State Dollars) for the importations of farm machineries. This money was deposited as valuables, not letting the security company know the contents of the consignment, with the help of his lawyer.

Mr. Brain Patey and my husband were brutally murdered along with some others by Mugabe’s men leaving me a widow. Am now in South Africa with my two children Pryor and Mike because my country is no longer save for us.

I am seeking the help of any foreign investor that will come down to South Africa to help us claim this fund from the security company and help us in investing the fund in his/her country, so that I can give my children a good life again. You should also know that 5% of the total sum have been set aside for any expenses you may incur during the transaction and we will give you 15%of the total sum for your assistance.

Please if you are willing to assist us contact me through my email. [email protected] and furnish me with your details phone and fax numbers so that I can give you in details the proof of the deposit of this fund with the Security firm here.

Please this transaction is in line with the law and is 100% risk free.

Sincerely yours
(Mrs. Jenifer George and sons)
(or you can contact my son Pryor phone:27/734 973 289

Second one :

FROM MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
MINISTER OF MINING
OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

Good Day:

First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three
children and the Minister of Mining of the Republic of South Africa since May 2009. To date
under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR JACOB ZUMA. After due deliberation
with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to
the sum of US$30.5M (Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) You
can view my profile at my (website by clicking ( http://www.info.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id=1066 )
and read about me.

THE PROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony making me the Minister of Mining, my
husband Mr. Ndebele Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in
1996.After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which amounted
to the sum of US$30.5M with a security and finance institution in South Africa of which I will
divulge information to you when I get your full consent and support to go for a change of
beneficiary and subsequent transfer of the funds into you a comfortable and conducive
account of your choice.This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he
executed with theGovernment of South Africa. Though I assisted him in getting this contract
but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the government of South
Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date.

If they discover this money in his bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets
here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in, government. I want
your assistance in opening an account with bankers through my banker so that this fund
could be wired into your account directly without any hitch. I am offering you 20% of the
principal sum which amounts to US$6,100.000.00 (Six million One Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars Only) and 5% will be for any expenses that both of us may Insure in this
transaction. And another 5% will go for Motherless babes home.

However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will
not elope with my fund. If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an
email. ([email protected]) if you want to speak with my son, that is fine and
okay by me, This is my son direct number +27-833-125-681 you can call him at anytime you
want to call him okay. or any time you want to speak with me then you let my son to know
about it, Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality of this
transaction.

My regards to your family. Yours faithfully,

MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU

Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed.
