World Cup Lottery
Although I’m not a football fan [soccer for you Americans and Australians], obviously I am aware that there is this thing called the ‘World Cup’ in progress, which, to my wife’s annoyance is playing havoc with her regular TV viewing; soap operas, game shows and so on.
Today I received this e-mail that claims that I’ve won Two Million US Dollars in a World Cup lottery! Hang on, I didn’t enter any lotteries, least of all one in South Africa!
So, what is going on?
This is a new [topical] twist on the Lottery scam that the boys and girls from Lagos seem to favour at the moment as their best way to find new suckers…..er I mean victims, to con.
Below are two screenshots of this new variant:
For those that need it, larger versions of the screenshots can be found here [screenshot1] and here [screenshot2]
As usual, this is a scam, there is NO MONEY, you haven’t won anything apart from the chance of being scammed out of your own money, other than that all you have won is a place on the scammers ’sucker’ list, lucky, lucky you!
Enjoy the World Cup, even if England get knocked out. For me, I’d rather watch any motorsport or even snooker than watch football 
So, who do you think will win the ‘World Cup’ this time?
