This post gets more comments than any other – so I’ll try and make it easy for you folks. I have highlighted the relevant words in bold and red. And if anyone is still in doubt about whether or not this is a scam – read this victim’s story
A reader sent me a series of emails she has exchanged with a scammer. I’ll let her tell the story in her own words:
“a few days ago i received an email telling me i won 250.000 pounds and a toshiba laptop. i figured it was a scam and i sent them the required info just name and adress, email and cell #. to see how they would play their game, then i got an email saying i need to send money for the delivery company to deliver my winnings. there were three options, ranging from over $1.000.00 for same day delivery and the cheaperst one for 3 to 4 day delivery for 652.00. Today I received an email telling me basically to hurry up and send the money. i replied with an email telling them i am flat broke and that they should deduct the delivery expenses from my winnings and send the rest. I am going to email you that letter attached and anything else i can attach from them. They are slick but not slick enough. I want these people to get caught. it’s the second time there has been an attempt to scam me. i play along and then when i let them know i am on to them or I won’t send money they disappear for ever. i will attach the emails in hope you can track them down or perhaps you can give me some info on how to track them.”
I wish I could help her track the scammer, but I can’t. All I can do is publish the emails here in the hope that it will warn other potential victims.
She replied to the first email, telling her about her win – and receive this from the scammers:

I recieved a message verry much simmilar as the published one above.
Indeed, considering it would be a scam, I only have sended an email back claiming my “prize”.
No further reactions until this moment but as it looks now, I was right and it is a scam.
What a shame: I could have used the money verry well.
If somethin happends, I will keep you informed.

hi Mrs Rose, I have ecived a lot of phone calls from DR. WILFRED ANDERSON, saying that I won 2500000GBP from Tagged annual draw. After sending the courier money he came back and told me the money cannot be sent because I need a certificate from the UN money laudering and drug abuse. So after getting my money for 250GBP. i THINK YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW ALL THIS BEFORE WE SEND OUT MONEY FIRST. SO I RELIASED THAT I BEEN HAD AND SCAMMED.
Hi Mrs Rose, today 08022010 i received another winning:

I WANT KNOW I WON ANY TAGGED PROMOTION 2009 2010 LOTTERY
PL INFORMATION TO ME URGENTLY
Waseeem – Please read the paragraph in BOLD TYPE at the top of EVERY PAGE of this site
Hello readers,
I received a similar email first from Mrs Rose Andersen breaking me the news of TAGGED PROMOTION2010 lucky winner draw and asking me to contact Mr Paul Owen, cash officer. when I contacted him and asked about the confirmation of the news. He asked me to fill up a form to reclaim my cash prize and Toshiba laptop. He then advised me to contact the courier service. They came up with three payment options. What I guessed from the whole coprrespondance was i) they are closely linked to interrefernces about shared messages; ii) their English language was very approximative ( I mean poor) as there are spelling, structural mistakes in their messages. Besides, I have an inner feeling (what you can label as ‘shrewdness’)that It coould be a scam. Mr Paul Owen’s message still lies in my mail box saying that he is waiting for my response. Beware! Readers, making someone pay his / her hard earned $1000 is depriving of him / her some time his life as the person may loose his life in grief.
Luckily for myself and unluckily for Mrs Rose Andersen, Mr Paul Owen and Mr Barry Wood (as these lucky lotery scammers claim their identity in these names), I decided to confirm the veracity of their business and got the truth through GOOGLE. It’s great. The technology has enabled me (us) to save myself from being scammed by these international crooks. I thank you all. Fayyaz Muhammad Mian.
I live in Sweden and are a member on Tagged.com`s site. I got a message much similar like Mrs.Rose did, and they told me i have won 300.000.00 £ and a Toshiba Laptop,in this TAGGED PROMOTION 2010 ORGANIZED BY MICROSOFT CORPORATIONS… And it looked alright and today i contacted this e-mail address; corporatecommunicationsxpress@deliveryman.com for home delivery to my door.
Then i got a mail telling me the fees for this would be $255 pounds…
But i have been very suspicious about this mail all the time and i even contacted the Tagged.com´s support team, and they congratulated me to my 1;st prize winnings in this lottery…
SO IT LOOKS LIKA TAGGED.COM IS INVOLVED IN THIS STORY OR SOMEONE WHO IS WORKING THERE ????
SO A POLICE INVESTIGATION WOULD BE IN ORDER TO STOP THOOSE PRICKS FOREVER…
Thanks for your time reading this comment dear beloved friends on Internet…
Please someone, get thoose bloody scammers and put them behind bars forever… Jan Roland Almgren…
Hello everyone am today the one that is being manupulated by those scammer, the only way to know that is to ring them different phone number which they send to you as contact and you will here the same person response.So I have use my brain and check the C.C.W.E on the internet an met Mrs Rose A, thanks a lot to all those comments thats why I’ve mine down too, I don’t want somebody to get caught by those bastard thanks .
Dear Mrs Rose,
I received the email and said the same as pulished above.
I do not know that if Tagged promotion has any lucky draw like this.
thanks for your feedback.
Hung
Heh, i recieved mail on my tagged mailbox sayng that i won 150.000 Pounds and Dell laptop and i played theyr game, in the same time Googeling companys and everything.
I agree that its very unlikley u win some money from dating website.
Unlike other i had all currency in pounds.
Courier fee was 175 pounds.
When i asked when is the last date till it expires they sayd its 2 days from now.
If u win anything u dont get 4 days to claim it, specially when ur not from UK, where they say this company is.
So i thank you for your post, cos it confirmed my doubts.
hello
Oh dear I’ve got a message saying that you are the winner the amount of eight hundred thousand pounds, and after D and attracting confirmed 90% of a scam of this I hope to put this crime fairly and follow the way of other, more secure, this should put all your information on all the pages to avoid these things including private e-mail that it is not only the entrance to this e-mail
And I hope you can advise me in this case

I Hope that all readers can see from the above three comments just how this SCAM operates. In the second comment you can see that the SCAMMER has started asking for money.
I’m also going to add that it is obvious from the comments on this thread that many people are determined to reply to these scammers. This is how scammers make their living. If people continue to reply to them and continue to send money, the scammers will continue scamming.
Mrs Rose are the above information sent to you real scams or it’s a genuine and if it’s not genuine and i see that this promotion is there how can i join it or how can i participate in your promotion madam Rose??information i thank you be blessed in the lord.

Madam Rose Owen.
54 Llyold Street,
Leicester, L15,
England.
As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me because I believe everyone will die someday. Please do not be surprise the way i got your contact, its obvious that this proposal will come to you as a big surprise. This is because we have not met before but i am inspired to send you this email, my Name is Rose Owen suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Sir Alex Owen an Englishman who is dead. My husband was into private practice all his life before his death. We live together as husband and wife which lasted for three decades without a child. My husband died after a protracted illness, my husband and i made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship, which never came; when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Ten Million Pounds (10,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that i have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems i am suffering from.
Though what bothers me most is the stroke that i have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me i have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially. I took this decision because i do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and i do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be misused hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where i am going. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband relatives around me, i do not want them to know about this development.
Contact my lawyer with this specified email address;Barrister Teddy Williams (ESQ)
E-mail: tw5619@googlemail.com
Tell him that i have WILLED £10,000,000 to you by quoting my personal reference number Law/chamber/solicitors/rt/own/WILL/9834520012 and i have also notified
him that i am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work.
Remain Blessed.
Your Sister,
Madam Rose Owen.
