Examples of Fake Irish National Lottery Notification Emails - Are You Being Scammed?

Sample Scams Emails Involving the Irish National Lottery

How to Recognize Them and What To Do If You Receive One

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.

See this page for much more information.
