If you have received the email below, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content, such as a different subject or return address, or with the fake webpage(s) hosted on a different webserver.
We aim to report every variant of the scams we receive, so even if it appears that a scam you receive has already been reported, please submit it to us anyway.
1. A lottery variant of the 419 style of scam. Correspondance will simply result in requests for 'administration fees' to cover various costs, but you'll never actually get any money back!
2. 'UK NATIONAL LOTTERY' very likely do not even exist and are just a fake company name used by the scammers.
3. Notice that the sender uses a free, web based email address. A real company would almost certainly use their own.
Email:
"We happily announce to you the draw (#978) of the UK NATIONAL LOTTERY,online Sweepstakes International program held on Saturday 23rd of july , 2005."
