2010 World cup in South Africa FIFA Promotion team
When I received this as a word document in a phishing email, I had to share. Take a look at the graphics – the scammers that sent this email are trying to look official by showing pictures of people who won their lottery; they are so incompetent that they actually used a picture from a Michigan Lotto Winner!
To top it all off, they claim to be using a new ‘java-based’ software package to generate results, as if that matters (perhaps their DOS based package gave away too many funds : ).
Here is the scam below:

I received one like that and for the hell of it I called and the person on the other end said they were that person…and that he was with that affiliation…I hung up cuz I couldn’t beleive it…
i just got this exact email today except supposedly the claims managers name was different. this is not the first time i have recieved a lotto scam email i get them daily and its so annoying. i have reported them as they come but still the annoyance continues. is there anything else i can do to be rid of these scams?
Same here, name is different but the same idea… funny thing is they say “Final notice” lol and it is the first notice XD… impatient scammers!!
I like messing with them, Here is my reply.
Thank you!
That is GREAT news to hear. My wife is currently traveling through South Africa
with her collages from the Red Cross Society, I think they are currently in or near Beaufort West.
My wife and I are financially secure. I inherited 16.3 million from my late aunt Esther
last summer.
So I am going to give my wife the biggest birthday gift ever. I would like to donate the
entire amount of my winnings (minus taxes and any processing fees) to the following
organization.
The South African Red Cross Society
Standard Redcross Donations
Standard Bank – Constantia
Account Number: 071760571
Branch Code: 025309
SWIFT Code: SBZAZAJJ
I will make the following arraignments with Standard Bank – Constantia. I will send them a
signed release of my interest in the winnings. I will also send a certified and signed transfer of
funds form. They will be arraigning the transfer of funds with your claims department early
next week.
My contact Nelson Botha at Standard Bank – Constantia is taking care of all arraignments.
Here is his phone number 0860101341.
I would like to thank you Mr. Daniel Jomoh.
Together we can make a difference in the world.
Had a similar email today, was nearly fooled only because this sum of money would assist me, family, friends and those in desperate need.
My contact person was Mr. John Modise I have sent an email to ‘andre@gamblingcontrol.org’;'ccchair@gcb.nv.gov’;’shenseljar@state.pa.us’ one of whom is chief exec for International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR), asking if this is a scam (no reply as yet). I may not be a millionairess when I wake in the morning but after reading the above comments neither will I be the idiot who believed this really was true (shame it isn’t though hey!), thank goodness for the internet and the opportinuty/ability to research; I will however sleep well now tonight.
hello dears,
I received the same thing, from Mr ‘Makeba Toba’!. Well heck, the email address didn’t even look real!
mmmm it is not exactly the of someone who is giving you 1.5 millions!
i received a email that say i win 1,500000 dollar it want 1250 euro for
attorney to represent me and sign on pehalf me are this matter true
are this mail are winner mail
mahmoud3010@gmail.com
Just received similar e-mail today. Contact person is Mike Zuma. Looks like they might be attempting to legitimize the appearance of the validity because I won 2nd place ($820,000.00 instead of 1st Place ($1,000,000.00). Funny thing is I have never entered any contests by email. I really feel sorry for the ignorant and greedy people who fall for these type scams.
Hi
I have also received same mail on 15th Feb ‘09 from ‘ Makeba toba ‘
Saying that i have won $ 1,500,000.00 dollar. (1.5 Million dollars)
I have replied to leslie thomas,
Attached for you reference and find below my deatils.
Name, country mob. # etc.,
Later they sent T-T form etc., but I have not replied anything.
This was rubbish and follish…….
BE CAREFUL……………………
hello dears,
I received the same thing, from Mr ‘Mr. Desmond Dube’!
Will any body tell these people that these all mails have been in common …………so please if they wana fake then atleast try some new IDEA…………
they really require some Good innovation
Doy gracias a Dios porque me a iluminado a encontrar estas pginas y testimonios de diferentes personas, Pienso que aunque son nombres falsos y asi como ellos tienen la gran agilidad de contactar e-mails , pues asi mismo podemos descubrirlos y hacer que nos paguen lo prometido o que paguen con CARCEL HAY QUE ABRIR UNA GRAN INVESTIGACION ACERCA DE ESTO . A mi en lo personal tambien quisieron estafarme pero ya veran tendran que pagar.
I recieved one of these too and I’m mad as heck to fall for such a scam I hope they catch these people who rip off poor people out of their money!!! and hang them up by their toes for days no water or food then they would know how it feels to let people down
I have received the following unsolicited email. I have been quite frequently receiving such emails. In my opinion all these are spam or frauds and a way of extracting money or syphening/laundering out funds in way or the other.

wt this rubbish is.isnt any 1 of real fifa team to take notice of such people making there name ruin.really a stupid 1……….
Good ol Mr. Paul Morgan almost threw me for a loop. He actually called me sounding like a genuine person. When I heard that you would have to pay $550 to get a $2,000,000.00 check sent by DHL (which I knew was a lot due to me receiving previous goods shipped transglobal via Ebay), I was a little bit skeptical. When I heard that it would be $1550 to have it wired to a bank account, I was done. There is no way that you have to spend that amount of money to get a prize claim. If so, take it out of my winnings. Nice try guys, but no dice.
I also receive this kind of email earlier this Feb. I wonder were they faking or were genuine people . they had ask me the details which I had mailed to them. I called one Leslie Thomas on her Number but got no reply accept that of an answering machine . well they are just ruining the name of The FIFA football league.
i received a email that say i win 1,500000 dollar it want 1250 euro for
attorney to represent me and sign on pehalf me are this matter true
are this mail are winner mail
i called mark williams ( +27839838689) and he said he said he is an agent so i must send a message from my cellphone. i said “in your dremz)
since when you call the provided number and somebody answer it. i think there is a way to trace and find them. can the legal action be taken on this and take them where they belong?
I just got this exact email today except supposedly the claims Agents name was different. this is not the first time i have received a lotto scam email i get them daily and its so annoying. The email is as follow:
