Last be not least: This one uses the German SKL Lottery as a front

This is the first e-mail using the "Süddeutsche Klassenlotterie" as a front.

Anyone not familiar with this lottery company, would not know that this lottery does not work as this e-mail would suggest. This company does not have an international Lottery. So there are no offices in Great Britain or elsewhere.

The SKL also does not use an external company to make any payments to prize winners.

Sure these guys, don't know all this. That's why they are counting on a lot of people who also don't know how the German Lottery works.
