Spam Entertainment
Occasionally I get these “fake lottery” SPAM email messages slip through the net and actually reach my mailbox - but this one made me laugh…
This is to inform you that you have been selected for a cash prize of £300,000.00 (Three Hundred Thousand Great British Pounds) and a brand new Peugeot 407 Car,From the International online programs held on the 26th of April 2007 in London the United Kingdom .
Now, if I had 300 grand, I wouldn’t be driving around in a Peugeot, I can think of several far more “fun” cars to spend money on… Especially after my previous experiences with Peugeot cars!
The email then carries on with the usual rubbish, including a form to send to an address, which is (not) surprisingly not at a domain owned by Peugeot, but is in fact on Yahoo Mail. The form naturally asks for a ton of personal information normally asked for by people wanting to steal your identity.
I can’t beleive anyone falls for these - simply by the very fact that the “company”claiming you’ve won aren’t even using their own domain, but are using a well-known, free webmail provider.

The worrying thing is that people will fall for this, the general public really do need more education on scams like this as joe user will think it’s genuine.
