Приходит мне значиццо письмо на мыло, типа выиграл я в BRITISH INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY цельных 500 000 фунтов аггглицких стерлингов! "Во прикол!"- думаю - "Я ж даже билета лотерейного не покупал!" (ну как в анекдоте - "Изя, ты хоть лотерейный билет то купи!", ну так вот, я ваще его не покупал, во какой фартовый).
Ну ответил по приколу. Выслали что перевели бабло в LLOYDS BANK PLC, и что для получения я должен заполнить форму и выслать идентиф. код и данные сфоего международного паспорта.
Ага! Щаззз!
Короче, вот чего известно о этих хмырях.
"UK NATIONAL LOTTERY / LLOYDS BANK PLC" are abused as fake labels used by a gang in Nigeria for a fake lottery fraud (advance fee fraud, "419"). The UK National Lottery does not award prizes by email address to people who never bought a ticket. Lloyds Bank Plc does not act as a "claims agent" for the real UK National Lottery. The objective of the scam is to get victims to wire money to the criminalsm, hoping to receive the promised but non-existent lottery prize at the end.
И вот ишшо
"British International Lottery" (Mr. Todd Aaron)
The presence of the word "international" in the name of lottery or instructions to contact its "foreign department" are clear signs of fraud. All government regulated lotteries worldwide cater only for a domestic audience. Their ticket agents only operate in one country and unless you buy a ticket, you can't win.
И ишшо
In this lottery scam victims are told they won a lottery prize, then they need to pay money before the prize can be paid and finally they receive an offer of a loan to cover the payment. This loan is extended in the form(fake) checks. The check bounce after it has been deposited and funds withdrawn against it. The victim will end up owing the bank $20,000 which by that time are already in the hands of the criminals. The check fraud ring appears to operate from Canada.
Ну что сказать, написал жалобу в Банк Ллойда плюс пожаловался на спам мейлеру. Ну поржал чуток. Да и ну их нафег!
