""""""""""""""Ref: EAASL/941OYI/02
Batch: 12/25/DC34
Date: 03-02-21
WINNING NOTIFICATION:
We happily announce to you the draw of the Euro - Afro American Sweepstake Lottery International programs held on the 21st of February 2003 in Dakar Senegal. Your e-mail address attached to ticket number: B9564 75604545 188 with! Serial number 97560 drew the winning: 49/54/26/17/35, which subsequently won you the lottery in the 2nd category.
You have therefore been approved to claim a total sum of US$500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in cash credited to file KPC/9080118308/02.This is from a total cash prize of US $ 25 Million dollars, shared amongst the first Fifty (50) lucky winners in this category........................... """""""""""""""""""
It`s no point in putting the entire mail here!!!!
Many of U have received this and some of have really fallen for this and sent those guys details about yourself... and this is not good!!!
If you receive such a mail, never ever open it or click on any link because even this small thing can give those guys details about yourself which can harm you in the future!!!
And the sad part!!!
People have fallen for this scam. People have responded... have given those guys personal info from Identification Numbers to Bank Accounts and some have even paid these guys money to get their false winnings!!! One of these scams has scammed Britain Citizens out of more than 700.000 euros... And this is not the only one... And you have to know there thousands, maybe ten`s of thousands... maybe more than tens of thousands scams similar to this one out there!!!
The real problem is not money, guys... because the money you send them 1000$, 10.000$ or more can not harm as much as The Information about your Identity you provided for those guys!!!
What do they do with your Identity??
It`s easy!!! This is used for Identity Theft: They steal your Identity to open bank accounts, to make illegal driver`s license, they use your identity to get jobs in your name, they commit crimes using your name, they take out loans using your name, they buy things in your name and don`t pay for them, they can use your name for the worst things possible on this Earth... and the police when they discover your Identity was used for horrible crimes or theft, they `ll come to you, they question you, they`ll bring you to jail, and this can cause a huge huge huge NIGHTMARE for any of you!!!
REMEMBER THIS:
They are not after your money... They are after your identity!!! Those mails you open can contain viruses, Trojan horse or Spyware and this is enough for them to have a profit out of sending you that e-mail!!! If your not carefull and give those guys more details you can be in a real real trouble which can harm you like you never could imagine it can be possible!!!
Hope this post helped guys!!!
I`ll modify this post soon and I will also put some links which involve this scam!!!
Have a nice day everybody!!!
