Lottery scam quick guide: it's a scam if...

  • you win any lottery where you didn't buy a ticket! It's really that easy! It's not just too good to be true: it's bait in a trap!
  • you receive a generous grant out of the blue. Sadly (but not surprisingly) there aren't any benevolent people regularly throwing around millions of pounds/dollars/euros to randomly chosen people. This is just the lottery scam without the ticket.
  • they send you partial payment in the form of a cheque, money order, or direct bank transfer and want you to pay them fees out of that money. They're playing you for a sucker: cheques are frequently forged, and direct transfers made by compromising some poor schmuck's online banking service. You'll wind up a victim of fraud, or a party to it.
  • they want you to send them any money of any sort for any reason. They might try to say there are courier fees or taxes to cover. They're lying. Call their bluff and tell them to take the fees out themselves -- they'll never ever agree, because they can't defraud you unless money is making the reverse trip from you to them somehow.

I'm going to try updating again

I stopped updating this blog because the volume of scams got too high. Despite the extreme commonness of lottery scams these days, some people still suspect that their particular case might be the real windfall they've been hoping for if it doesn't match something I've posted here exactly.

Well, I'm going to make a valliant and probably misguided attempt at helping these hopelessly credulous people. I'm going to forward each and every lottery spam that arrives in my "ideceive" Gmail account from now until the end of November. And if I can still stand it at that point, I'll keep it up.

As a consequence, this blog is going to get very busy for a while. I don't advise subscribing to the RSS feed unless you really want a lot of lottery spam in your diet.

These specific Donations/Grants will be awarded to 30 lucky international recipients worldwide; in different categories for their personal business development and enhancement of their educational plans. At least 15% of the awarded funds should be used by you to develop a part of your environment. This is a yearly program, which is a measure of universal development strategy.
The objective is to make a notable change in the standard of living of people all around the Universe (>From America to Europe, Asia to Africa and all around). The Vittorio Foundation has been assured of highest organization standard courtesy of the United Nations. It is our belief that we can achieve a great positive change in the general welfare of the universe through this program. That is why the foundation is doing everything possible to get all recipients notified of their donation.
Note that your country is not the only country that is benefiting from this donation. Beneficiaries have been chosen from countries from all the continents. The idea of this donation is that within ten years from now, there will be notable richness among many unusual people around the world. This will give many people the opportunity to get their lives to a stage where they had always wanted.
Kindly note that you will only be chosen to receive the donation once, which means that subsequent yearly donation will not get to you again. Take time and thought in spending the donation wisely on something that will last you a long time. Recipients are only eligible to be awarded this donation once.
Based on the random selection exercise of internet websites and millions of supermarket cash invoices worldwide, you were selected among the lucky recipients to receive the award sum of 1,500,000 Euros (One Million Five Hundred Thousand Euros) as charity donations/aid from the Vittorio Foundation, in accordance with the enabling act of Parliament. (Note that all beneficiaries email addresses were selected randomly from over 600,000 internet websites or a shop's cash invoice around your area in which you might have purchased something from).

All information is strictly confidential and will only be used for the purpose to which it is been requested.
Please note that these donations/Grants are strictly administered by Vittorio Foundation. This means that your qualification number will be raffled to know the organisation (ECOWAS or EU) that will handle your payment. You are to keep this whole information confidential until you have been able to collect your donation, as there have been many cases of double and unqualified claim, due to beneficiaries informing third parties about his/her donation.
Finally, all funds should be claimed by their respective beneficiaries, no later than 15 days after notification. Failure to do so will mean cancellation of that beneficiary and its donation will then be reserved for next year's recipients.
On behalf of the Board kindly, accept our warmest Congratulations.
Faithfully Yours,
Lady (Mrs.) Reina Gianfagna .
