The message you submitted has been checked
Please carefully review the following Scam-O-Matic results:
This email looks like a fake lottery scam.
Consider the following facts about real lotteries:
They do not notify winners by email.
You can not win without first buying a lottery ticket.
They do not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.
They do not use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate with you.
They do not tell you to call a mobile phone number.
They do not tell you to keep your winnings secret.
They will never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize!
Any "courier service", "lawyer" or "bank" that a fake "lottery" may have introduced you to is also fake!
The following phrases should put you on alert:
"00,000.00":
they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals
"you are advice to ":
this email uses bad English
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
+447045754669 (UK, redirects to a mobile phone in another country)
This email lists free webmail addresses. Besides personal use for legitimate purposes, use of such addresses is also typical for scams. NOTE: Lotteries, banks, government agencies and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.
