I am surprised that ANYONE falls for this nowdays in an EMAIL!!!

I have seen rogue casino terms and conditions that are easier to read and understand than this:rolleyes:

If you are bright enough to understand all that formal language, you should be bright enough to figure out that something isn't quite right about the whole thing.

The more recent ones tend to use simplified language, and the ploy is that you have won a big prize in some kind of lottery, often hijacking the good name of a well known company or organisation. These probably snare many more victims, as many GENUINE companies use such "lotteries" as a marketing ploy, with the only difference being a simple procedure, such as clicking a link, to confirm that you want to be entered. IF you have never entered such a draw, it is a scam (or dodgy practice at best).
As above, no mention of a release fee often makes it seem "worth a try", as many may think they have nothing to lose, but everything to gain if the prize is delivered. The identity is what is stolen in the above case, although in others a request for bank details is also sought for "payment of the funds". The bank details can be used to empty the account, and the ID thus stolen can be used either to get past most CS departments, or to take out financial products, or even enter the country as a "clone" of the victim.

I have "won several lotteries" this weekend alone:rolleyes:
