Lottery Scam: FONDAZIONE Di VITTORIO & ECOWAS

This is one of the funniest lottery scam mail that we have ever seen. 

The sender appears to be “info@ecowas.com”, but was in fact sent out from an anonymous email server where the sender can mimmick any email address.

As expected, we expected the scammer to provide some other real email addresses (from free email providers) so that you can contact them. However, their email address is at “8u8.com”, which is currently unavailable but has been registered since 2000. Apparently, ther has been a whopping 354 records of the domain registrant since 2003, and it is owned by a Chinese.

Even if you are interested to be scammer, you can’t contact this guy. If you can, pass it on to the police!

Then the scammers used some real sites and big names, hoping to “build” some fake confidence in you hoping that someone would be gullible enough (or greedy enough) to try and contact them.
