Have you received an email from "Dr Emma Rothschild" at Yahoo Beta promo, claiming "This is to inform you that your mail and contact address was noted to my office in respect to your ATM Card payment for this month Yahoo Beta promo, which was approved by the board of directors" and they will send you the money on an ATM card, if you contact "Jim Koijam"? If the fact that you have never heard of a lottery, refund or promo from Yahoo Beta or Swift Card Payment doesn't immediately strike you as a scam, then allow us to point out more inconsistencies and how the scam works.
Also notice that the "official" or "lawyer" is writing to you from a free email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.); in fact, they typically use more than one different free email accounts.
Look, however at the pretty certificates they send. Ooh! Doesn't that look official? It's fake; any child can make that with "Print Shop".
Of course, even if what is presented in the email were true; you would be committing several felonies, including fraud.
