Lottery Scam: Stakes Lottery Promotions – Micro-Soft Sweepstakes

That explains why most scam mails contain bad spellings. Some of those who managed to scam the old folks and enjoying their holidays abroad at their victim’s expense, probably get to know about the existence of an English Dictionary at a latter age. These scam mails are generally well written and polished.

Anyway, this scam mail is a joke.

• This lottery is held in… Brunei? He gotta be kidding!?
• There was a mix-up of addresses and numbers… haha
• You can collect your “prize” in 7 different countries… wow
• “YOU ARE TO KEEP ALL LOTTERY INFORMATIONS FROM PUBLIC”… hey everybody, look at what we found! We have thousands of lottery winnings. Jay is already a billionaire, just count the total wins in this website! We don’t have to wait a year to win this stupid fake lottery, we are so darn lucky that we are winning almost EVERYDAY!
