FREE GALA BINGO E-MAIL LOTTERY PROMO

The 419 scammers have a decided to use Gala, a UK Bingo and on-line gaming company as their latest one to impersonate, they do this to try and get you to swallow their scam as real.

Here's a couple of screen shots showing one copy of the emails I've seen so far today:





The use of a "trusted" brand name is to try and make it more believable, so that you will be willing to actually contact them to try and get the alleged winnings.

However, you'll end up being put on a suckers list; receiving even more of these scams, even via the postal service and over the phone too. Not only that you will also be asked to pay some administrative or legal fees to release the money to you...there is no money, you haven't won anything except the chance to be less gullible in the future.

If you want to find out more about these scams and how they work you can find other postings on the subject on this blog, and also on my published papers and articles page here: http://momusings/com/papers

If you get an email claiming that you've won something in a competition you never entered be very skeptical. If you want to know if it is real or not then please feel free to contact me.

Gala do appear to have a lottery game, but it is online at their website, they don't do e-mail lottery at all....you have been warned ;-)
