Here we go again, another scam. Since when do they ask for your marital status and country of origin when you win a lotto? Claims agent or fraudster? One more bottom feeder to add to the list.

These lotto scams always intrigue me. I have never heard of a legitimate lotto that requires a winner to provide their age, occupation, marital status? We have covered this Microsoft lottery scam in past posts 2008/02/22

Isn’t this wonderful, I won a lottery again. So glad that they contacted me to request my name and address. I don’t know how they do it! Just another scam thanks to 419ers International and Bottom Feeders of Nigeria.

These bottom feeders just seem to be getting worse as time passes. I keep saying that “undisclosed-recipients” has received way too many millions this year. Just another scam brought to you by International Bottom Feeders Inc.

Mrs Caroline Bryne and Dr. Michael Hills, what a team! I think that the poor Doctor and Caroline should take a few lessons in spelling. I am still amazed to see how an “undisclosed-recipients” email address can win some bogus lottery?
