I received an email stating I had won the yahoo/msn messenger lottery of July for the sum of five hundred thousand pounds. This time the used the name of [email protected]... address air courier in slough berkshire SL1 3X phone number... 44 703 196 7842, I called them and got someone that didn't speak clear English and they hung up on me... I contacted a Mr Terry Martins of microsft award team,20 Craven Park, Harlesden LONDON NW10 on 44 702 402 8761 I even spoke to him and he said it was correct but then sent me an email asking as verification a scan copy of my international passport.
That got the alarm bells ringing, so I emailed back and said I only have a drivers license as yet have not got a response. There must be authorities over there that can mail these people to the wall, surely this sort of thing is illegal???
If they are asking for scans of international passports as verification then there is something very fishy going on here, seems the scam has come to Australia as well... Bloody wonderful that is, so beware and someone in England pleaseee nail these people.
