Happy New Year, you've won!

Hardly is the New Year upon us and the first lottery fraudmails are here. Today it is the turn of the "Canadians".

Coming from two different senders the e-mails are almost identical, but that is not surprising, is it?

This time there are no telephone numbers quoted. I expect that the "prize money" has been deposited somewhere in Amsterdam. As such they will certainly call anybody who responds.

Here is e-mail number 1:
