[i]Well here's a new scam!!!

I know that you just can't wait to call these people and claim your prize!

Oh wait... you were "entered" because you visited websites sponsoring the promotion from which your email address was gleaned... yeah, right. Shouldn't that read IP address? And if you are anything like me, you surf under a non-specific IP...

Well, enough of that reality nonsense!

Sheesh, what next?

stay a member of TR even though you are now RICH!!!

Did ya ever notice that they always add the decimal points to make the prize look larger? I mean, now that you've won almost $3 million, do the pennies really add any incremental excitement?

You truly are one lucky dawg.

I have received numerous similar "wins" originating from a number of different countries.

those first class tickets may finally be on their way at long last! :p

Edited: got so excited I forgot how to spell....

You of course realize that your chances of encountering a band new scam are almost the same as winning a multi million (name the currency) lottery.

Take the first letter from ears and move it to the end. I'm shocked that I noticed that. Maybe I shouldn't post this. I don't want jd to think that I want my reformed ears made hot. That part should only be hot after a good spicy meal. Ummm....I typing this and even I don't like where it's going. Probably should shut up now. TTFN.

A little cooling off, hmm? With a few ice cubes just melting down your......face, and avoiding those sore (HOT!) ears....

oh, and are you going to manage lunch ok standing up, DM?

[b][u]To be Fore-warned is to be Fore-Armed - Illegal Lotto Scam[/u]

MEDIA STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER: DETECTIVE SERVICES, SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE, HEAD OFFICE: DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER JOHAN DE BEER
Pretoria: 05 June 2006[/b]

The South African Police Service is very much concerned about the number of complaints that are being received from potential victims of the so-called "SA 2010 World Cup Bid Lottery". Scam letters and e-mails (originating from within and outside the borders of South Africa) were received, promising large cash pay-outs.

Modus Operandi: The potential victim is notified via e-mail (e-mail sourced from the internet), that he/she has won the Lottery. He/she will be then issued with some sort of a certificate confirming the prize and then requested to complete a number of forms on-line, in the process unknowingly disclosing his/her private and confidential details. Thereafter the victim would be informed of a procedure to claim the cash. Foremost, as part of the procedure, a upfront payment/fee will be requested, for the rest of the cash to be released.

The following must be taken into consideration before participating in any Lottery game in South Africa :

The Lottery is governed by the Lotteries Act 57 of 1997. Section 2 of the Act provides for the establishment of the National Lotteries Board, which is the only statutory body charged with regulating the operation of the national Lottery in South Africa.

The Licence to conduct the National Lottery as provided for by Section 13 of the Act, clearly indicates that only one licence will be issued at one time authorizing a person to conduct the National Lottery. This Licence has been issued to Uthingo Management (Pty) Ltd. In other words, only Uthingo is permitted to run Lottery promotions in South Africa.

Currently Uthingo Management offers three products/games, namely, Lotto, Wina Manje Scratch Card and Sports Take. The only way to play or participate in any of the games, is to purchase a ticket from an accredited National Lottery outlet in South Africa. Uthingo does not extend gaming opportunities to other countries.

The South African Lottery legislation does not permit participation in the National Lottery via an agency, which collect commission or a fee for such a service, and/or the issuing of free tickets to players.
In terms of Section 57(1)(a) of the Lotteries Act, "Any person who participates in, or conducts, facilitates, promotes or derives any benefit from a Lottery, promotional competition or sports pool, shall, unless such lottery, promotional competition or sports pool is or has been authorized by or under this Act or any other law, be guilty of an offence.

We strongly warn and urge the general South African public and the international community about this and similar scams. Any person receiving any form of correspondence, urging them to participate in a game of some sort, should please contact the following numbers during Office hours:

Tel : 012 401 3345 or 012 393 1203
Fax : 012 401 3369 or 012 393 1202
