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.

Here's the e-mail:
