I have received an email from "Richard Ness" telling me I have won £590,000. How anyone could imagine such emails are genuine is beyond me. Surely there must be some way of bringing such fraudsters to book.
276 days ago by Jennifer Flores [send email]
I never thought that this is a scam, bacause i think it is true, maybe because at this moment of time, we are financially down. And this e-mail is really an answered prayer to us. But then i begun to doubt, when i cannot reply to the churchill courier, and then i found out to this site that this is just a fake. Please do something about it. Tnx.

Hey Folks! Here's a new one I received today. (SEE BELOW) Remember to never freely e-mail ANY of your personal information to ANYONE unless you're sure they're a legitimate business. Always be leary of anyone asking for your personal information. If it was true that you won a lottery or a prize, you would have a confirmation number that basically has whatever info they have on you tied to it. If it was legit, you'd use that confirmation number to claim your prize which you would need to pick up at an office where at that point, you would fill out the your personal information so that all taxation issues are cleared before receiving the money. The closest you'll get to that is playing the LOTTO, MEGA-MILLIONS, or a POWERBALL game which follow the rules according to US taxation laws. If you're familiar with these lotteries, then you'll know the procedure that they follow. All you need is the ticket and once you've won, you YOURSELF go down to the Lottery office, show them your winning ticket, and they make you fill out paperwork that takes care of the taxes among other services. **RED Flags should go up the minute you see they're asking for personal info and the fact that you're winning a lottery in a country you've never stepped foot in. ALSO, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO RECEIVE YOUR WINNINGS and the mere fact that they're asking you to send the money to another country should be your que because if you were to send that money off, be sure that you'll never get it back and could possibly be funding a rogue organization operating illegally on an international level. So to be safe, try your luck on Lotto or go to a casino...at least you'll enjoy losing your money instead of getting hood-winked. Hope all is well and may the price of oil go back to $30 a barrel!!!

I was almost kind of excited, because it was my very first scam e-mail. Can you believe it.? I knew right away, i mean, hello, how would I win a British lottery? I'm in Oregon. I am amazed people can fall for this stuff. Seems absolutely ridiculous that they can't be stopped. Hello, if you receive any sort of odd e-mail from anyone you don't know, and it involves money, try Google. Anything legit will have information.
