DEAR EMAIL OWNER CONGRATULATIONS !!!

This scammer is very confused.  He writes to me from Moscow in the Russian Federation to tell me that he (or she) represents Yahoo in Thailand.  This is one of those scammers who seems to think that their fake “representative” should take the title of “Rev”.  I never understand that.  All the “Revs” that I have ever met are busy working for their church and parish.  I don’t think any would take a job representing a lottery organisation!

Clearly living in the Russian Federation (which this scammer does) means the scammer has, apparently, scanty knowledge about Thailand.  He tells me that unclaimed prize money will go to ” HER MAJESTY’S DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY”.  I had to look that one up – I knew it didn’t sound right.  Thailand has a KING not a queen.

Enough waffle – it’s time to put some mince pies on to warm for the neighbour’s drinks party.

Just ignore this scammer – who clearly doesn’t have the Christmas spirit.
