Spam, Scams and Lambs

Freelotto Affiliated Office UK Scam

Awe nothing like winning a lottery without even buying a ticket. One has to wonder how they managed to locate me in the first case? They want to know my name , my address, my sex and age? Since when do lotteries want to know your age and sex?

It is a pity that this type of scam is still very prevalent on the internet, that must mean that there are still a lot of takers.
