A particular factor in this kind of mail is that recipients never played any lottery in the first place.
The mail also claims that the recipient was chosen amongst electronic mail addresses.
In addition, the fraudulent letter gives out a reference number and a batch number, asking that the recepient contact the processing consultant.
The mail, which was reportedly sent by one Mrs. Susan Moore gave the name of the consultant as Mr. Luis Santiago who should be contacted through: lotteryagent20071111@yahoo.co.uk, or through +44 (0) 701 113 8303.
Also the sender requested that you fill in a form with full names, address, sex, age, marital status, occupation, e-mail address, telephone number, brief description of company or individual, amount won, country and date of winning of notification.
The mail reads in part: “Dear Lucky Winner, We are pleased to inform you of the result of the just concluded annual final draws of United Kingdom Lottery international Lottery programs that was held 7th ,March 2007.
