Had so many fun things through on my email recently, Its like they want to be published ahah 🙂
It seems the current trend is to keep the email basic so as to not trip the spam filters, but then whack a document or followup email with the meaty goodness in – this is what the email attachment said;

I visited the URL (it seems to be safe) but it is some spoofy lottery page, the main URL looks to be an actual lottery website so im wondering if they’ve been hacked.
I have forwarded the email onto them.
All in all, fairly standard stuff – I have emailed the person back to see what their reply is, and will update the post if they get back to me.
The email referenced in the attachment bounced unfortunately 🙁
Looks like their account has been deleted or it was listed in the attachment incorrectly.
I’ll keep you all posted 🙂
Remember peeps, If it looks too good to be true, it will be.

Hi
I also have received the same email. I was wondering did you get any response back from them?
Hi Raha,
Not as of yet – the email they reference in the scam actually bounced;
“Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
lnfo.graphictrustagentb@gmall.com
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain gmall.com by gmall.com. [220.73.160.208].
The error that the other server returned was: 511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 – chkuser)
———-
Although I have since sent a reply to the original sender hoping they get back to me soon 🙂
Will update the blog if they do 🙂
Olly I dunno tbh cause when I saw the email I received it had copyright to the lotto sizzler and all its rights reserved so whoever sent it could be tracked and taken to court under false copyright claim. But it hasn’t been tracked so I dunno weather it’s real or not

Hi guys, I’ve received same email from them. Different names, but same all around. They wanted to assign a South African lawyer for me to receive my funds unless I can make to south Africa within 10 days lol. I told them to provide with the address so I can pick it up myself and they provided me with this address to go to: 114A Charles Crescent, Eastgate GAUTENG, South Africa
I’m bored today, so I opened suspiciously looking email in my inbox that titled ‘You’ and contains ‘have won’ (how did they now I have some remaining wons from my trip to Korea? lol)
It looks exactly like your email.
I hope none fall from this scam 😀
Something like 1 in 1000 will fall for it, which makes it worthwhile them doing it 🙁
I also received a similar letter saying that i have won the Canadian sizzler lottery. It’s so obviously a scam, but they get you to at least reply just in case you have actually won $840000.00! I don’t know how some people believe that you have to pay a fee to claim your prize
butLooking around on other sites warning of this scam people have fallen for it, and lost the money paid for the fee.
DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING! You will not get a penny let alone $840000.00.
Good website olly, people need to know
Siman
I have also received same mail , marking it s very urgent. I HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO REPLY AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SCAM.
They send out millions of these emails mate, daily, it only takes one person to fall for it 🙁
Thanks for the comment Simon 🙂
I got one too but yhe email address works for me I have sent tjem a message asking if it was for real and they responded “you have” but if you look close at tje number they give there are too many numbers and the address has no zip code.
i recieved the same message last week, at first i believed on it but after sending all the details , their asking me to pay 429$ for the procurement affidavit, what should i do
I recived same kinda email…when I checked the site given it looks real

I also received that email, me and my collague we were dancing thinking money cash,december…………boss..when I call no respond fuck
Just read my email couple of hours announcing that I won some good cash from a randomly select email n am wondering how…….that’s how I turned FBI n started searching to get to see the authenticity of the mail! Scam big time! I should definitely respond with ‘ you have lost’….. That’s guys for the first hand information about this
I’ve also received an email, properly written and tells me that my email has won a big chunk, the numbers are real and the website seems to be properly maintained. I’ve also sent them email that didn’t bounce back. I also checked it on International Lottery Association and it seems to be a member…
What to do now?
I’ve also received an email saying have won US$100 000 000.00.contact them and it seems as true.They sent me a remmittance form of FNB(FIRST NATIONAL BANK) of South Africa.Form filled

Hello my Name is Idris Siddiqui, I have received a similar email as you guys have received, informing me that I have won USD 1,000,000.00 they are just trying to fool the people. Pls. ignore the message.
Please guys we need to do something about these fuckers as they’re playing with people’s emotions… I got one too!!

it’s hurting poeple and their emotions bt what can do? they gave me the same that I ve won, the thing is someone should check out this e-mail fisrt, so I think we should start from the powerball lottery ok
Please you can answer me ,is it true?because I have received the same message ,they asked me to go to South Africa I told them that I can’t they asked me to make a lawyer and they suggested one .So is what next is it real?please please answer
No its a scam mate. Did you read the post? 🙂
Hi Olly. Something that people appear to be missing about this. If they are so concerned about security, why are they giving me the information they are asking for? They have put it at the top of the page, then they want me to write it down at the bottom! Why, can’t they read typed text? It is so full of holes.
Hi Olly. I was going to post a warning of my own on this. But you have done it for me. Good for you. One point to make VERY clear to people. THIS IS A SCAM. The original Email is harmless in it’s self. There is no danger in it, AS LONG AS YOU DON’T BELIEVE IT. A multi million Dollar Company gives a mobile phone number as the ONLY contact number. Are they so poor that they can’t afford an office phone? Also, I have lived in Jo’burg, 28 Rivonia Road’s zip/post code is 2031. Why don’t they know that?
Don’t try this. It is one kind of cheat. I have also got same gmail massage. They can do haked your phone/gmail/facebook.
Hi Sajjad. They already have your gmail, they have used it to send the message in the first place. But you are right, DON’T give them your phone number!! If you are tempted to reply, just say you are not on the phone.
I have recieve the same mail.i am from Suriname, why special somebody in Africa.A mostly we know that the most scams are adressed in Africa.People don’t fall for it please.To get my money the ask me $456, that is BS.
Hi. guess what? I got one as well. For the draw on the 24/08/2016. Great, I have WON $920,000 yippee. From a total cash prize of $11,100,000.00 million Dollars. So Dollars at the front of the number and at back! Just how much is that anyway? Are they saying $11.1 million million? WOW thats a lot of wonga. Why is my share out of 110 so small? What a load of bollocks. Their English is improving. But I would expect better from Canada!
This look’s like I am replying to my self! But I felt it important enough. I have tracked the ‘You have WON’ back to the source. It all comes from Nigeria. They have hacked official sights to do it. But they are not as good as me. DON’T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT. It is a SCAM, they will ask you for charges and fees to get you money. Tell them to FUCK OFF from me.
I wonder how tempted they would be if they knew just how much money I have? Would they give me their Bank details, just so that I could pay the ‘charges and fees’ by SWIFT. Would they give me their detail’s and take the risk? Of course they won’t. All scamers give you the least possible amount of information about them selves. But they want to know all about you. Don’t fall for it.
NO MATTER WHAT. DON’T FALL FOR THIS. IT IS A CON.
Saya juga mendapatkan undian lottre USD 920,000.00. Wooooooow……FANTASTIS..FANTASTIS NILAINYA , mendadak kaya oeee……akhirnya aku abaikan saja. Itu mustahil bro.

is it real or no?
No its not, no email like this is ever real.
Hi dudes, just received a message that I won a lottery $840,000.00 is this crap true
From what I read so far it’s obviously a scum. I just wonder what a threat they could be if one gave them personal details, meaning phone number, ID number, physical address? Enlighten me, you good people!
Thanx
hey!! what is going on?? It is real? I also received this email in this morning. I have no reply to them yet.
I also received like that email in this morning. I won US$ 100,000.00 from this weekly lotto. Is it real or not? Please, reply to me.
I have also received same mail , marking it s very urgent. US$ 1,000,000.00 dollars in the annual Canadian-Hot Sizzler Lottery Online Lucky Program. Is it real???

Is this coin base lottery?, or facts?. Raising people’s expectations, very bad.
I believe that as they have not fallen many continue with these emails to me I arrive just this week and they ask me to deposit the lawyer that according to me will represent $ 1,320 dollars, apparently the fee is increasing
hahahah i got this too its so clear they are scammer ! who the hell someone have to give millions and used free email service (@gmail.com) XD #logic
be save dont believe this crap
I got a similar email, different names (Karen Atkins and Alex Victor) so I searched the internet to see if it is legit. I am glad I did, because I found this message with all of your replies. I definitely won’t be sending them information now!
Lol… I received this email just last week Friday. I called on Friday and there was no answer, called on Saturday a man picked and said I should call on Monday which is today lol ? and when I called today he says my country Ghana and the whole “west African” region is not part of the promotion ?…ridiculous.. Lol when the document said Africa. Lame scam. He should have at least asked me for ? money ? . Lame ass
JORGE: I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION TODAY BUT GOT SO BUSY SPENDING THE MONEY ONLINE THAT I FORGOT TO OPEN THE MESSAGE. ?? (I GOOGLED THE EMAIL OF THE SENDER AND ARRIVED AT THIS SITE. I WAS AMAZED TO SEE THAT SOME ACTUALLY TOOK THE MESSAGE SERIOUSLY.)
