Lottery Scams: Powerball Lotto Group, "Promise Green"

Lottery Scam Email:
POWERBALL LOTTO GROUP
CONSOLATION PRIZE WINNING NOTICE!!!

The scam name "Promise Green" reappears in this scam email.  It's a pity "Promise" doesn't know how to use a spell-checker; her/his scams would be slightly more believable! Still this scam is primarily sent to victims outside of the UK, as they claim you can com eto their offices in the UK to collect your "winnings".  Excuse us, just WHERE in the UK?  Notice they give no address, only a phone number (most likely a disposable cell phone) and a free, anonymous Yahoo email account.

Notice the gibberish writing, excessive use of CAPITAL letters, 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.
