Amsterdam (near Nigeria)

In my inbox this morning I found what I think is another mutation of the standard Nigerian spam. This one tells me that I'm a guaranteed winner of USD 6,500,000 in the Netherlands lottery. I have until 12th January to claim my prize.

Anyone else seen anything like this? Or have I really won huge sums of money for doing nothing (yeah, right!)

Caught in one of our honeypots this morning.

Did you get the same ticket I did?

It must have been a QuickPick because I didn't choose these:


By our procedures, you were
allocated to NL lottery ticket number 76-1102-103. Ballot 1 and ballot 2
numbers are 1102/545 and 1102/73 respectively, with serial number AA5/120920

Yep. Those are the numbers.

Dontcha hate it when these lotteries allocate the same numbers multiple times :)

So, we have to split the prize I guess. I don't know if it is worth $3.5 million to go all the way to the Niger^H^H^H^Hetherlands to pick it up, so you can have my portion. :)
