    Thanks just got one.

    I was really about to believe in it

  • October 21, 2017 at 3:38 PM by an anonymous user from: Abidjan, Cote dIvoire (Ivory Coast)

    hello I am Kouame from the Ivory coast. I received a similar message but not the same signature dated February 13, 2017. I was not connected until yesterday. So what about my message and tell me this lottery really exists?

    • October 21, 2017 at 3:46 PM by info

      The lottery doesn't exist. The email is a lottery scam.

  • October 3, 2017 at 3:48 AM by an anonymous user from: Jakarta Selatan, Jakarta, Indonesia

    My friend got an email from NDC Abu Dhabi, UEA. Its also about lotto draw and she get US$97.000

    How about that? I hope your fast respond. Thank you.

    • October 3, 2017 at 4:22 AM by info

      It is a fake or lottery scam.

  • September 20, 2017 at 5:06 AM by an anonymous user from: Plymouth, England, United Kingdom

    I got a similar one, again not addressed directly to me, supposedly from the National Drilling Company (though the email address it came from was completely different). Different names, but a number of spelling checker errors (different similar word not spotted by the scammer, so presumably English not their first language). Same return address of representative.com (with a different name).

    I love the way the signature is signed in big fat felt pen, just like a child would do...

    I rarely get spam these days as Google is so good at filtering. This one slipped through the net as there's no text in the email, just two .jpg images.

    • October 5, 2017 at 10:49 AM by an anonymous user from: Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa

      True, I got the same email..from National Drilling Company.

  • September 18, 2017 at 4:22 AM by an anonymous user from: Tampere, West and Inner Finland, Finland

    I just received this, with another logo. Thank you for information

  • September 14, 2017 at 3:30 PM by an anonymous user from: Sao Paulo, Brazil

    I read this email right now. It's almost similar, but the company name was changed to "National Drilling Company". Tks to this site that warned me about the fishing attempt.

    That's the frist time I've heard about this e-mail. My original language is brazilian Portuguese. Tks in advanced!

    • September 22, 2017 at 1:34 PM by an anonymous user from: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

      I also read this email right now. It's almost similar, but the company name was changed to "National Drilling Company". Thanks to this site that warned me about the fishing attempt.

      That's the first time I've heard about this e-mail. My original language is Brazilian Portuguese. Thanks in advance!

      I had made a copy of comment above because is the same. Thanks.

  • September 13, 2017 at 8:37 PM by an anonymous user from: Kwai Tsing, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

    I received the email today. same company name but different company logo, the letter content is 90% similar to the one you posted.

    Thanks.

  • September 10, 2017 at 6:14 PM by an anonymous user from: St George, Utah, United States

    I just received one today from "The National Drilling Company".

    So glad you had this posted to warn people. Thank you!

  • September 9, 2017 at 10:29 PM by an anonymous user from: Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    Hi, I am from Brazil, I received an email with the same information, but I changed company. I was in the name of the company "Maersk Oil" as far as I know, the company is true, but can it be a coup? the text practically presented this theme, help me ... is it a scam? what do I do?

    • September 9, 2017 at 11:05 PM by info

      It is a scam, there is no such lottery.

  • September 8, 2017 at 10:15 AM by an anonymous user from: Iloilo City, Western Visayas, Philippines

    It's good I've checked into this. Thank god! I was supposed to be one of those victims! NDC lotto draw... Too bad for you scammers!

    I will be very careful next time... God bless everyone!

  • August 31, 2017 at 3:10 PM by an anonymous user from: Nairobi, Kenya

    Thanks for the ⚠ I almost celebrated my luck. I have received 2-1 from Maersk Oil Company and the other from the NOC Libya. I was not going to fall in their scams...

  • August 14, 2017 at 7:42 AM by an anonymous user from: Buenos Aires City, Buenos Aires Autonomous City, Argentina

    Got the same from sender: nkkdp@vodafone.de

  • July 18, 2017 at 12:35 PM by an anonymous user from: Burlington, Ontario, Canada

    WHEE! How lucky am I? I just today received one of these emails. Must say, they did better than most. They have the MAERSK OIL Logo correct.

    By quick glance, there are no glaring spelling errors, however, some of the syntax was strange.

    ...and really, why would you have "...in fight against European Migrant Crisis awareness and support"? (Are you/they against European Migrants or against the plight of migrants in Europe?)

    It has 1 Qatar address/ 1 Johannesburg S.Africa address.

    Better luck next time scammers. Too bad, I could have used the money.

    • July 28, 2017 at 1:00 PM by an anonymous user from: Ponta Grossa, Parana, Brazil

      I got the same one right now! Maersk Oil and the same adress.

  • June 30, 2017 at 12:24 PM by an anonymous user from: Vojens, Southern Denmark Region, Denmark

    They also sometimes claim to be from Abu Dhabi.

  • April 30, 2017 at 11:11 AM by an anonymous user from: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

    I received this mail too but I didn't believe them so in order to confirm I googled your site and here it is a scam. Never gonna fall for them .

    Thanks for informing us. I was wondering who I may ask if couldn't find it in here.

  • April 25, 2017 at 3:31 AM by an anonymous user from: Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

    On the 5th February I receive the email but never responded to it. I said if this is truly for me it will come to me in a right way. Will you please check if it was true or not. If it was true please let me receive my luck if not God forbid.

    • April 25, 2017 at 6:08 AM by info

      It is not true, it is a lottery scam.

  • April 5, 2017 at 6:49 PM by an anonymous user from: Baguio City, Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines

    I received email from NPCC UAE A a while ago, but I researched the signatory name in the board of directors and his name isn't there. So I think this is a scam.

    • April 21, 2017 at 2:59 AM by info

      It is a scam, do not fall for it.

    • April 21, 2017 at 2:27 AM by an anonymous user from: Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

      When did you receive it?

  • April 5, 2017 at 12:10 PM by an anonymous user from: Monrovia, Montserrado, Liberia

    Thanks very much. I was going to sent them my information, but thank god you inform me.

  • April 3, 2017 at 3:16 PM by an anonymous user from: Lagos, Nigeria

    I was sent an attachment, concerning the lotto draw, which I indeed send some of my details to them, but now I really believed that it was a scammed message. Thank God I did not send my Am pin

  • March 30, 2017 at 1:18 PM by info

    Received via email:

    "Last March 7,2017 I received an email from NOC Libya that I won the lottery,and that shocked me because I did not even pay for any tickets,it makes me think it is a scam... last night I replied to them,they respond emmediately they gave me the process on how to claim the price,and now I received an email from them again that i should submit any of my identification,thanks that i search and found your site and report this to you,I already deleted their mails and hope they cannot do this to anyone again.

    Thank you."

  • March 25, 2017 at 6:46 PM by an anonymous user from: Lagos, Nigeria

    May God be praised. I don't go easily into this kind of things. When I saw mail in my inbox, I quickly googled the address and that's how I came to this site. My advice is that one should not be easily fascinated by this kinds of promises. Hard work pays my dear ones. All that glitters are not gold.

  • March 24, 2017 at 5:37 PM by an anonymous user from: Paramaribo, Suriname

    I feel so foolish...falling for the scam of NOC Libya Lotery. How do I get my money back from them?

    • March 24, 2017 at 5:41 PM by info

      If you have sent your money using your credit card, contact your bank and have them cancel the transaction and refund your money. If you used money transfer services like Western Union or MoneyGram, it is virtually impossible to get back your money.

  • March 24, 2017 at 4:14 PM by an anonymous user from: Dhaka, Bangladesh

    Exactly same type of mail I got early in this month, but didn't send any information about myself, because I am very much concerned about it, what it is and how I got this lottery.

    Now I need to know who sent this mail for what purpose and how they work on it; and how they achieve their goal using this fake offer.

    • March 24, 2017 at 4:53 PM by info

      The email is being sent by lottery scammers. The aim of the lottery scammers is to trick the recipients of the email into sending them money in order to receive their so-called prizes or winnings. The lottery scammers will claim the money is for taxes and fees, but once the money is sent, the lottery scammers will disappear with the money, and the victims will not receive the lottery prize they were promised or claim to have won.

  • March 24, 2017 at 11:05 AM by an anonymous user from: Dhaka, Bangladesh

    I also get this kind of email.

  • March 23, 2017 at 3:26 PM by an anonymous user from: Baeza, Andalucia, Spain

    A warm greeting from Spain.m

      I also received an email from MAERSK OIL that I won the lottery,and that shocked me because I did not even pay for any tickets,it made me think it was a scam... today I replied to them,they respond immediately. They gave me the process on how to claim the price, and now I received an email from them again that I should submit any of my identification.

      Good thing that I searched and found your site and report this to you. I already deleted their mails and hope they cannot do this to anyone again.
