I WON!!! A Sweepstakes I never entered?
How can that be you ask? How can I win a Sweepstakes without ever entering one? In addition, I received this email not once, not twice, but three times today alone.
Well, it 'tis be another cleaver attack from the SPAM kings of the world. Yes, SPAM and not the seasoned Ham-like meat that we all love... Yummy, No I am speaking of the more malicious type. The Spam that fills up your inbox and possibly may corrupt your system. THE NASTY SPAM. But as my self-appointed duty is to help rid the world of such spam. My blacklist for my spam filter is so long that I am no longer able to add to my list.
Oh well, so lets analyze this one: The email address was tip number 1: Western Union Money Transfer [westernunionagent3@myway.com] - why was it not from westernunion.com???
The Phone number any of them is the wrong format for England. It does start +44 as the country code and that is where it dies. There are not enough numbers left. Then a hotmail account to the person who verifies the funds... LAUGHABLE. Then they don't know to whom they are sending an email stating that I had won a million pounds.
Well here is the example:
