The Dutch lottery scam
Sender: Category A Subject: AWARD CLAIM NOTIFICATION!!
This was in my inbox today. This scam is a new twist on the Nigerian 419 scam
Here’s how it works - you think you’ve won a few million dollars, but in order to release the money you will have to pay a fee first. Or, you will be coaxed into giving your bank details “so the money can be paid straight into your bank”.
As much as you may want to believe you’ve won a lottery you haven’t even participated in, please don’t fall for this scam.
Here’s the email:
