3 Million Pound T-Mobile Lottery Win!

Wow, look at this e-mail I've just been sent. According to it I've won THREE MILLION POUNDS!



So, it claims to have come from 'T-Mobile International Lottery', but on closer inspection it has actually come from a 'Hotmail' account. Obviously things are getting tough at 'T-Mobile' if they can't afford to run their own mail servers and domains anymore, but they can afford to give me THREE MILLION POUNDS as a prize? Doesn't add up, does it?

OK, I'll let you in to a secret, there is no such lottery, there is no 'THREE MILLION POUNDS' waiting for me (more's the pity ;-)) Yes, the e-mail is nothing more than another variant of the 419 Lottery scam which I've covered many times before on this blog.

This one isn't as ingenious as the one I blogged about on Friday, but it is a good try and people will get sucked in and believe that they have won a large pile of money, so you have been warned. As I often state "If something seems too good to be true, it probably is [too good to be true]". In other words "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!"

Talking of lunch, I hope you enjoy/enjoyed yours?
