Email Scam
Complaint
Niko
Country: India
I received the following email regarding a lottery winning. I was wondering if anyone else received this, and where you reported this because this is an obvious scam. Also, where is the catch? They don't request any information or money to be sent to them.

Terry Gilliam was with Monty Python, so that lends credibility.
At least they have a sense of humor.
and they also said that I would have to send $435.00 to activate a account and my winning money would be in that account...but come on it's too good to be true....plus,I didn't even buy their lottery ticket...but somehow I had won.....so it's just a scam....
