Funny thing happened today ....

As usual I got my portion of scam e-mails today. Around ten of which were lottery winner notifications!

Six of the lottery e-mails came from a person named "John Bentley" from "Nationwide Lottery". He is using two e-mail addresses: lotterycoordinator@nationwidelottouk.co.uk and nationwidelotto.net@sv1.unsitesolutions.com.

He has named a so-called security company named "HERITAGE FINANCE LTD". The e-mail address is dhammond2@heritagefinance-ltd.org. So you can easily recognise them, if you get an message from them.

Contrary to other lottery scams, this person seems to work out of the UK. The telefon number is +44-20-7060-0194.

Now for the funny one ...

A Thomson Kudoh sent me an typical money transfer e-mail. Saying that he was a poor refugee, had lost his family and needed some kind heart who would help him with a money tranfer and investment. The funny thing about it, was that his e-mail address is LOTERIA PRIMITIVA [thomsonkudoh@excite.com].

It looks as though Thomson is getting a bit careless. :-)
