Below is another scam lottery winning notification claiming to be from "Dayzer' s Lotto E-Games". The would-be victim wrote us after seeing a similar scam letter here. This ought to serve as a reminder that the scam criminals are constantly revising their letters, so look for the patter, not an exact match.
Notice the gibberish writing, excessive use of CAPITAL letters, poor punctuation and spacing, bad grammar and spelling, etc. Note the other clues to an obvious fraud that we have highlighted in the letter; keep confidential, selected by a random computer lottery of email addresses, use of free hotmail/yahoo email accounts, etc.
To CFR:
On February 17, 2007, I received an e-mail notifying me that I had won the 2007 Dayzers Lotto - Wheel E-game.
Out of curiosity and wishful thinking, I replied to their email address (fiduciaryagent_van@yahoo.gr), which was listed in the e-mail as the contact point, for all responses.
My reply, basically consisted of my acknowledgement of receipt of the winner notification and the following notation, "Awaiting further instructions."
On February 19, 2007, I received a second e-mail (see below) acknowledging receipt of my reply and requesting that I fax or e-mail them personal ID information ... for processing. This prompted me to conduct online research of Dayzers Lottery as well as to visit a "Fraud Awareness" web site. Information gathered during these actions convinced me that Dayzers' contact of me was (is) an attempted scam.
