WARNING!!
Hi All! This morning I got a letter through the mail about a lottery award which prompted me to check its details on the net. The letter bears the post mark of malaga Spain and the contents is an award notification from LA PRIMITIVA LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL PROMOTIONS PROGRAMME. on searching I found that this is a Nigerian Scam a link to one of the sites can be found here This Letter tells you that it is a final notice and that you are the winner of a lump sum of money in my case 615,810.00 Euros. There are a lot of suspect Emails of the same type bombarding mail boxes all across the Internet community and should be treated with extreme caution. This type of scam asks for details of a personal nature and requires bank details. Not a good Idea a the best of times to relay your bank details to an unknown source unless you are positive that it is genuine. I took a look at this letter today and thought that the letter head was a bit blurry but could have conviced me. There is also information on Wikipedia About these scams Keep your eyes open and dont be caught out this type of operator empties your bank account and leads to Identity theft. an finally a link to WA Scamnet Add to this post In comments if you know of any other Scams running and I hope you all stay safe over Christmas see you again soon.....
