PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING THIS BLOG.
ALL of the lotteries, draws, compensation schemes, inheritances, payment agent jobs, mystery shopper jobs and business proposals involving large sums of money that you receive by email ARE SCAMS. NO ORGANISATION ANYWHERE EVER holds random email draws. They are ALL SCAMS. You CANNOT WIN a lottery or prize draw that you HAVE NOT ENTERED.
Please don't post comments asking me if the scams you have received are real. I can't answer them all and you KNOW they are scams!
This is one of the funniest scams I’ve been sent for a long while. This scammer’s email says it comes from the “Essex Islamic Trust”. What do you think the address of this “Trust” might be??? Buckingham Palace – or so the scammer says.
Yes folks, this is a scammer – who doesn’t want to send you “International Lotto Support” winnings. This scammer wants to take money from you by charging you fees. Delete [Continue reading **From International Global Funding**]
Mr “Fisher” Brown has chosen an apt name for his scammer. He is phishing. Hoping that you will fall for his scam and send him money. This is such a load of old rubbish that I hope that no-one is taken in by this scammer.

Yet another email draw that tells me there has been a “mix up email addresses”. I have no idea who the Swiss Lotto are – and if they do exist, I’m sure they would be based in Switzerland not the Netherlands.
This is a scammer – after your hard earned cash. If you reply to this you will find yourself being asked for money.
SWISS-LOTTO NETHERLANDS Palistrinalaan 44, 8011vn, Zwolle Netherlands SWISS-LOTTO NETHERLANDS]
Mr Moore is a scammer. He doesn’t want to lend you thousands of dollars (dollars!!! – he’s in the UK – he claims – we use pounds). A little research tells me that the address he claims to run his business from is occupied by a supermarket.
“Mr Moore” doesn’t want to lend you money – he wants to take your money. If you make the mistake of replying he will start demanding money [Continue reading Loan]
“Mr Jones Richard” and his colleague seem to be a bit confused. For a start “Mr Jones Richard” doesn’t seem to be able to write his own name in the correct order. Secondly there is no such thing as the “British National notifLottery” based in Harrogate. We do have a National Lottery. It doesn’t award random prizes for no reason. The only way to win the UK National Lottery is to a) buy a [Continue reading NOTIFICATION OF WINNING]
Imagine, for a moment, that you all of your family – parents, sisters – apart from yourself and younger sister had perished in an appalling accident. Imagine your parents left you millions of dollars. What would you do? Would you:
a) find a top lawyer to help you sort out your financial affairs, or
b) send an email headed “how are you today” to thousands of random people across the world?
When you’ve worked [Continue reading HOW ARE YOU TODAY]
“Mr Jose” finishes his scam by asking me to “Kindly revert back to me urgently”. No thanks. I have no desire to become a scammer. That’s what Mr Jose is – a scammer. He isn’t an attorney, or a barrister and he didn’t have a mega rich client and he certainly isn’t going to send you money. What he wants to do is to take money from you.
Delete the email and don’t reply.
[Continue reading SEEKING EXECUTOR OF LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT]
Have you noticed how many scammers claim to be bent lawyers? Doesn’t give you a lot of faith, does it? This scammer tells me the old, old, old (yaaaawwwn) story – he had a rich client – who died – after losing his/her entire family in a disaster – leaving millions of dollars that his attorney/barrister/accountant has access to if only you (or me, or some other sucker) will help him.
If you make [Continue reading URGENT RESPONSE]
The “Elite Fleet” company seem to be working overtime, as this was also left as a comment on this blog – by the same person who left the previous entry. Again, this is a scam. It’s an advance fee fraud. The scammer asks you for a fee. You haven’t won anything, Microsoft don’t hold random draws. It isn’t the business of a courier service to know what is in the parcels they deliver, and [Continue reading Elite Fleet Company (again)]
This was left as a comment. At first I thought it was left by a scammer – but I’m not sure as it contained the customer’s name (which I’ve replaced with ****).
It’s a scam. You aren’t expecting a parcel from the “Elite Fleet” company – neither am I. Courier companies don’t charge the recipient, they charge the sender. UK companies don’t ask for payment by Western Union either. If you make the mistake [Continue reading Elite Fleet Courier Company]
