I wrote back to the individual and let them know that the info I sent them about me was bogas. Here's a copy of what I wrote:

By the way, all of the info I sent you about me, is bogus just like the s**t you are trying to scam me out of and I turned you in for fraud and internet scamming so in the future, you'd better make wiser choices regarding who you choose to sucker into your rip off scams because YOU WILL GO TO JAIL?. It's only a matter of time, and this is a government e-mail address which is monitored by the federal government. So look out and stop screwing with the USA. Here's a word of advice, GET A F*#@ing JOB!

Trudy,

I need to add to your post.

The amount to the courier company has to be paid in US-dollar. Therefore, Express would be $605.00 and Express Plus would be $903.00 which of course goes to the cons. Let them achieve that 100 times and they are set anyway from $60.000 to $90.000

What angers me the most these discusting people due that every day just like other people put in a hard and HONEST days work.

I am so repulsed to see this happen that I want to shout from the roof tops "Let them be hunted and stoped".

Hello Trudy,

Some more examples with the same or similar text you posted always trying to get your personal info, for you to contact them and to keep extremely confidential about this, even to close family members

THE LOTTERY DEPARTMENT MERCEDES-BENZ
22 Garden Close, Stamford,
Lincs, PE9 2YP, London
United Kingdom
The sender is an address from Canada, robertrbarr@shaw.ca and I contacted Mercedes which has no such lottery and I love Mercedes.

Who wouldn't love to drive such car and to top it 1000.00 British Pounds cash comes with this car.
2007 LOTTERY PRIZE AWARD DEPT with a contact address mail:europeanprize_award11@yahoo.com.hk
Tel:++31-644-863-856

These phone numbers are false since they are placed within the USA network

I send and reported this bogus fraudulent mail immediately to yahoo-spam and costumer service.

Phone Number:+44 7011141288
Same, contacting Toyota... no promotion, lottery, or cash of any kind

I received above e-mails within 30 minutes and if they were all true by golly I would be rich in the speed of lightning but any humor aside I am working in the criminal justice field and internet fraud is part of the World Wide Web yet can be stopped.

Hope this can be a bit of help to all that are reading this, receiving such mails, contemplating and believing these scams are real and there life could be changed.

Sounds too good to be true, well it is people

These and similar mails are received by millions daily from all over the world. According to the FBI International con artists use lottery scams such as this to defraud Americans out of more than $120 million a year.

Further, Federal law prohibits the cross-border sale or purchase of lottery tickets by phone or mail.

Foreign lottery scam artists will drain your bank account or steal the money you sent to pay for the tickets, duties, and taxes.

The FBI website is giving valuable info regarding these scams and how it can be stopped in that for example the FBI partnered with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and others to identify, disrupt, and dismantle organizations perpetrating these schemes, to seize the proceeds of their operations, and to return stolen money to victims.

Thanks to these partnerships, a Canadian man was sentenced to 78 months in a U.S. prison on July 17 after pleading guilty to racketeering, mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy for his role in a lottery scheme that stole more than $8 million from elderly widows and widowers in the U.S.

Unfortunately for every scam stopped another comes up real fast. Only public exposure can stop these people since new scams have many similarities and only deviate slightly from the ones that are destroyed.

Further, according to FBI advice "Don't respond to calls, e-mails, or mailings promoting foreign lotteries. If you think you've been victimized by one of these scams, report it to your local FBI office. Or, if you were scammed online, file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center".

You better off buying state lottery tickets were you have more luck to win than ever seeing any winnings from these cons with there scams.

In my state a lot of Banks and Western Union warn costumers by posting warnings regarding these and other schemes including Nigerian letter fraud at every counter with contact info to the FBI, Local police or Crime Complaint Center.

Even our local Newspaper had several write ups with local Law Enforcement warnings and info. That in itself should WARN people.

Hope to hear from you soon Trudy
