Inheritance E-Mail II

This is great stuff. Elington wrote to tell me that my uncle Arthur has left me some money. Seriously though, as you can see from my previous post about my very own inheritance e-mail. These people just coast through the internet looking for potential victims who post personal details with their e-mail addresses.

Elington sent this e-mail to my yahoo account. I use my profile there for contact purposes. As such I get buzzed on my messenger from all sorts of people. A lot of them say they are single women looking for marriage candidates. But that is another story .....

Here's the E-Mail:

Ruth Bums says I won in a Lottery!

This is a typical fraud e-mail. The most remarkable point is that the criminals are using the www.dayzers.nl website as a front.

Anyone visiting the Dayzers website from this e-mail, will see that it is run by a professional Dutch Lottery company. As the most of us do not understand Dutch, there is not much danger that the e-mail is seen as a fraud.

Dayzers will most certainly have problems with this. As soon as victims have lost their money, they will start looking for ways to get it back.

"Ruth" (if there is a Ruth) will be the only one who wins on this.
