The email below, which claims the recipients are winners in the "Ontario 49 Draws Lottery Promotions" held in Canada is a lottery scam. The fake email is being sent by lottery scammers to trick potential victims into sending them their personal information and subsequently sending them money. The scammers will claim the money is for a processing fee, taxes, delivery fee or some other fee. But, if the potential victims send their personal information the scammers will take it and sell it to other scammers. And, if they send their hard-earned money, the scammers will steal it and disappear, leaving the potential victims a few hundreds or thousands of dollars broke and depressed.

hi, I also received similar mail in which it mentioned that "Congratulations! your email address has won you US$100000.00 in the Canada Lottery Ontario 49 International Annual Promotion Draw organized and sponsored by the Canadian and South African Government's Tourism Department". from MS. Patricia Lewis. Thanks for awareness..
I received the same email from Patricia Lewis. My God Its totally scam.
I received the same email today as well. definitely a scam
I received a similar e-mail... but with different information... I guess it is to be expected they would change some of it to continue the scam...
HiI received the same email to my work email however it does not show my email.Thank you
I just received this same email with different contact names. I just forwarded it to info@onlinethreatalerts.com. thank you!
We just received this EXACT email from Mark of Welshhome Fiduciary. They dont actually type the body of the email...the body is pasted as an image. That was another tip off for me that something was off. Like they say, if it seems too good to be true...Thank you for confirming what I believed to be a scam. I'm going to forward to the email address posted above.
I reieved the simillar email but became skeptic when they made it so simple that I can deposit the money in my local bank where they have the agent which was the name of of the person and not the company. I think these people are also operating from my country too. Thanks for the awareness.
