2010 World Cup Lottery Winner ( You Have Won US$1,000,000)
The following email came complete with animated flag, at least three photographs, a signature, and a spinning globe. This is by far one of the most sophisticated scam emails. It is not the only one purporting to be connected with the FIFA 2010 World Cup, but it is the nicest.
Alas, it is a scam. No one wants to give away large sums of money for nothing. I did not buy a ticket to the games, I am not a sponsor of the games, I am not a subscriber or recognized customer for any of the sponsors, so there is no reason for my email to have been entered into any draw. And their excuse of using this as a means of raising awareness for the games would have been more believable if this were merely an advertisement for the games with some information for the games, but no such luck - other than 2010 and South Africa, I have learned nothing about the games, and the sponsors are listed as anonymous so I cannot even support them.
Fancy scam, but still a scam.
