Google E-Lottery - Yet another scam?

One again the scammers are at it - trying to separate me from my money. Since when does


Google have arandom E-mail address drawing. And funny how the "Africa" return address


and free anonymous "hotmail" account shows up for these crooks.





Hope no one falls for this scam. Here's the email I got.

Google E-Lottery - Yet another scam?
No surprise that Gmail addresses are now the target of spammers, as it has an ever growing number of users.


For me, the first thing that stands out about that phony lottery notification is the bad grammar. Certainly Google is wealthy enough to hire someone who has better language skills than whoever wrote that!


No question... 100% SCAM.
