Google Promotion Award Cash or Grant Donation Lottery Scam
an anonymous user from: Amersfoort, Utrecht, Netherlands

I received this lottery scamming email:

"Dear Google User,

Please kindly find your winning notification as attached.

NOTE! Google values your right to privacy! Your information is 100% secured and will be used exclusively for the purpose of this award only.

The Google Promotion Award Team has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. The Google Promotion Award Team has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the cancelling of that particular winning. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize."
