Lottery Scam Letter

El Gordo Sweepstakes Lottery Company, S.L.

Antonio Roberto, Claim Agent

 

Letter Source Report: This letter originated in Nigeria and the "claim agent" phone number is a Spanish land line to make things appear legitimate.  The IP for this email client is a British broadband service.  This scam covers 3 different law enforcement jurisdictions. I Had to hunt for the abuse address for this letter.  BT Limited, a British broadband service, did not show up as an individual entity in the VisualRoute report.  All that comes up is the RIPE general info.  For this server, send the report to abuse@btglobalservices.com
