When are you sending the money?
In a real lottery, the winner only collects money and pays no fees. Even taxes are deducted from the winnings, and not from your own pocket before the prize is collected.
Stupid things we see from scammers everytime:
- Impersonating a Senator
- Can't even get the spellings correct - ASAP or ASPA
- Using free mailing address
- He is from Nigeria.
We are not saying that these scams only come from Nigeria, but being the birthplace for 419 Advance Fee Scams, its a dead giveaway.
There are 2 known extreme groups in Nigeria, one group is the really needy people who doesn't have enough to eat. The other group is ripping the world off since early 90s and travelling around the world in their private planes. The one below is probably the real millionaire, after ripping us off.
Subject: Lottery winnings of $18.5 mil a scam?
