Sample Lottery Scam Email:
Once Promo
The Once Promo lottery scam is another that claims that "email
addresses were used" and it "is a promotional program aimed at encouraging internet users; therefore you do not need to buy ticket".
Of course, this is absolute nonsense. It is a scam.
There are many signs that this is a fraud. Note the clues to an obvious
scam that we
have highlighted in the
letter; keep confidential, selected by a random computer lottery of email
addresses, use of free email accounts, etc.
