Has Dr. Bebhinn Morgan or Dr Babhinn Morgan emailed you to tell you you won the
Irish National Lottery? Well, don't get too excited, it's a scam.
There is only one legal national lottery in Ireland,
the
National Lottery
and it does
NOT use email to notify winners.
Below are several typical scam emails, received in February 2007. We've
highlighted some of the obvious
clues that it is a fraud. Notice the German email address (strange for an IRISH
lottery, the use of free yahoo email accounts (not likely for a professional
lottery!), gibberish phrases (like "this development that is highly related and
Useful to Mankind"), many typos and misspellings, the selection
by a "random email balloting system" (NO lottery does this!) and other nonsense.
