As before, I taught on how to detect scams and how they reveal themselves to be totally a scam, and recently, I've received another scam email for the so-called UK National Lottery for a sum of an amazing £800,000. It even has a serial number! Well, let's just laugh at this, I've never even join. Emails of this nature reminds me that lottery companies or agencies randomly assign ticket numbers to people on the Net? That will be like over a few million people? And wow, how do they know my email when I never joined? Sixth sense? Anyways, here's the email:-

I wonder if anybody realize the signature at the bottom? It says:-
"//

What? The lottery has to be notified by a property company? Makes no sense! That's there another bane of scammers and fraudsters, the signature line. This makes sending a scam email using the company email address is a really bad idea after all. The company in the signature line is also taking a punch in its credibility.
