Irish National Lottery Scam Emails - Tony Brown at the Irish Lottery

Sample Scams Emails Involving the Irish National Lottery

How to Recognize Them and What To Do If You Receive One
"The Irish Lottery" Scam

Some of the scammers must be deliberately trying to see how absurd a scam they can make. This one supposedly is from "Tony Brown" at "The Irish Lottery" with a "Reverend Clerk Phillips" as the "Online Coordinator". Do you really believe that minister is going to be working in a paid position, for a LOTTERY? And a first name of "Clerk"? Probably a misspelling of "Clark".

Below is a scam email, received in February 2007 from "Tony Brown" at "The Irish Lottery". of course, all of the names are fictitious. 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, the selection by a "computer draw system" of random email balloting, so nobody buys a ticket (NO lottery does this!) and other nonsense.

See this page for much more information.
