The pdf document sent with this scam mail includes the words:

Please note that PRESTIGIOUS LOTTERY your paying agent, will invite you to their office in
Johannesburg South Africa for your immediate payment


The scammer expects the recipient of this email to be unable to travel to South Africa in the permitted time-frame, and so will demand a delivery fee or transfer payment instead.

If the recipient, however, said that they were willing to travel, another kind of fee or payment would be required.

But, either way, there will be no winnings to receive in return. The Lottery did not take place and, therefore, there are no winnings. It is a scam.

Hi littleXxlxX

Welcome to Scamwarners.

While I cant say for certain if both scams will be exactly the same, I can say with certainty that the email you received is a definate scam.

If you did give them you bank details, please contact your bank and ask them to change your account details.

Regardless of your next replies, ignore them, it is much better not to give them hope by replying.

If you have any questions, please ask

is this same scam??


It is certainly the same type of scam - you have won a lottery that you never entered/bought a ticket for! :laugh-s:

TEL +44 7031862253


This is a "redirect to anywhere" number (probably to a mobile in West Africa) - NOT a UK number.

The English is typical of a West African, not of someone who lives or works in England.
