I got one of these emails yesterday and this is what I sent back:


I was wondering who this is sending this obviously unreal email to me announcing that I've won a large sum of money. It sounds completely fake because;

#1 A FEW MISSPELLED WORDS,

#2 DO YOU MEAN CORPORATE INSTEAD OF COOPERATE??? DO YOU MEAN CONGRATULATIONS INSTEAD OF CONGRATULATION

#3 This email doesn't even look PROFESSIONAL OR OFFICIAL. WHY IS A MEXICAN SENDING ME THIS WHEN IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE COMING FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM

I would think also that someone who was part of such a major thing would not be using hotmail as their CORPORATE email.So tell me, how is it that I of all the people out there, was one of the LUCKY 40 THAT GOT CHOSEN FOR THIS??? WHO ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU WANT ALL OF THAT PERSONAL INFO???

I am a poor rancher from East Texas and yet they managed to draw my name for the Liverpool Football Club. Yes an extra 900,000 USD would come in handy, but everybody knows it is too good to be true. I have a sister from England (dad was in the USAF). She did tell me that the Liverpool Football Club was a real place, she had heard of it. So it did get my hopes up.

I will when they email back about the cost of getting my check tell them that I want my sister to drive over and pick it up. hahahah


2006-01-06 08:25:51 -
i have got the similar message. so i send the reply to kelvin Bode. and i got the mail about the courier cost.To confirm whether this is fake mail or not i created a another email id at yahoo and with the help of that id i sent another mail to kelvin bode. again i got reply from kelvin bode that
" This is to inform you that you have been officially
cleared for payment by the Verifications Dept. at the headquarters
of the UK National Lottery.
......"
this shows that these guys are real cheaters as the new id that i have created was not register as yahoo id in the past as this id was created after the lottery being done aso how could the new id could won a lottery even when it is not registered in yahoo domain.


2006-01-04 23:36:04 -
What is going on with this. I got one also.


2006-01-04 20:35:10 -
I was scammed as well. Luckily I Googled the phone number this jerk attached and got this m4essage board. I would like to think all those that posted cause if it was not for ya'll I would be out 1,000 dollars! Juist for your amusement I sent this email back in response:

NOTICE!!!!!!!!!

You have been chosen for the American "you are a f**king ba**ard" lottery. You were randomly selected from a list of computer crimes felons. You are going to ruin someone's life just so you can make a little cash. You have got some major problems. I have reported you to the Better Business Bureau, and the FTC and posted the emails you sent to me on a computer crime message board. Awwwww I bet you thought you had my money, didn't you??? Tough sh*t!! You deserve to rot in jail! F**k you!

Yours in heart,


2006-01-04 16:23:15 -
I was sent an email informing me that I have won #500,000.00 from the Liverpool Football Club Lottery.
The sender of the email was [email protected]. Will you inform me if this was a scam?

Thank you and look forward to your answer.


2006-01-04 11:41:04 -
I received pretty much the same as everyone else. I wonder are Liverpool FC aware they're good name is being used in such a disgraceful manner. Obviously a football club of that size does not just hand out money in such large amounts for absolutely no reason and even if they did it would be a major event not a scabby, badly typed email. You don't need to be naiive to fall for it but some are desperate enough to part with what little money they have in the belief that the reward will see them through forever!!! I pity the fools!!!


2006-01-04 06:33:15 -
encrsed is a winning gotification and i would like you to verivy if anything of its nature is happening and if so is there anything like bill sto be paid to any courier companies for cheque deliverly?
