Lottery Scam Letter

International Lotto UK (02)

an Investigative Discovery series

Caroline Jensen, Promotions Manager

Lawrence Smith, Claims Agent

 

Letter Source Report: Now things are starting to heat up.  The counterfeit bank document below came from an IP in Nigeria.  This is the contact mentioned in the letter dated Feb. 27.  However, please note that the Time Zone on the email remains the same as on all the emails coming from "Lawrence Smith."  This email was not written in Nigeria, it was only sent through a Nigerian email IP.

The counterfeit bank document uses the actual letterhead of an existing European bank.  This means that the swindler in this case has now committed bank fraud on top of wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud, and probably income tax evasion.

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.
