Lottery Scam Letter

International Lotto UK (02)

an Investigative Discovery series

Caroline Jensen, Promotions Manager

Lawrence Smith, Claims Agent

 

Letter Source Report: The letter from the alleged Claims Agent "Lawrence Smith" dated Feb 20 originated from the same San Diego, California IP as the email dated Feb 12, 2004.  But the one dated Feb 23 originated in Bangkok, but the GMT of -0800 shows that it, too, came from a user in [probably] Southern California.  Notice the different email address on the Feb 23 letter out of Bangkok.

Once again, because these letters are part of an on-going correspondence, it cannot be considered Spam and cannot even be reported as scam mail.

For more information on this particular Lottery Scam, see Investigative Discoveries in Action: Caroline Jensen and Michelle Hay.
