Ilooked at the Euro Millions website and they said that if you were contacted by e-mail it must be a scam. I was disappointed that the website did not provide an e-mail or telephone contact to either verify the claim or to allow you to report a potential scam. Your views are welcome, Bill McKnight

To bill.mcknight:
Cyber Analyst is a scam email. I found two similar e-scam examples in the Lottery Scam Letter Archives, though the name was linked to Power Line International. To read them yourself, click on the "Search" tab in the menu bar at the top of this screen-page. Open "Advanced Search," then enter Cyber Analyst International Promotions into the search bar. Scroll down the page and click on "Search Now." To get the most from 419legal, I suggest you read Website Tips in General Scam & Spam Discussions. If you are a US citizen, Be Aware & Beware in the same forum covers reporting fraud. Many 419legal members post their e-scams on this site to alert and educate others. I've copied the following information from a Thread in the Lottery Scam Letter Archives. __________________________________________________ ____________________________________ How to submit a scam letter: Simply register for membership, which is free. After registering for membership you can log into the website and make posts in our forum. Simply go to the scam letter archive and click on “New Topic” Copy the scam letter you have received and paste it into the large message box. As title you can use the name of the scammer, business or lottery as it appears in the scam letter. Then click submit. __________________________________________________ ____________________________________ By posting this information, someone might recognize the scam, though the company name differs. Or, include as much detail as you can about a business deal/job offer. This encourages 419legal members and volunteers to better advise/inform/answer a cry for help.
