Sample Scams Emails Involving the Irish National Lottery
How to
Recognize Them and What To Do If You Receive One
"The Irish National Lottery
Meg Stone (Mrs.),
Mr Bill Karl
If you received an email from "Meg Stone (Mrs.)", claining to be from the Irish National
Lottery or the Irish National Lottery Online, and to contact Mr Bill Karl to receive your
winnings, beware!
This scam claims that there is a free online version of the Irish Lottery that
selects winners, randomly, just because they have an email address. Obviously,
this is just another scam. If you really believe that there is ANY organization,
anywhere in the world, that is going to give away millions of dollars weekly to
people who are selected at random from email addresses, then we will question
your sanity.
We've
highlighted some of the obvious
clues that it is a fraud. Notice the the use of free yahoo email accounts (not
likely for a professional lottery!), gibberish phrases, many typos and
misspellings, etc. Note that they have even included the real logo, from the
Irish Lottery website.
See this page for much more
information.
