It is a scam email
Quote:
Welcome to 419Legal. It is possible for fraudsters to get your email address whereever site you have registered. Also many email addresses trade between them. They emailed to everyone in the list. Looking into the content of the email, as you are well aware, it looks a typical fake lotto scam email and should be redflagged. Plus analysis shows followings. # vvpeurocenter@aim.com # vvpeurocenter@yahoo.it # assistenza2005@aim.com (Above email addresses have been used in a known fraud before) So do NOT get in touch with or reply to them and never give them your private infos. It would be better for you to stay away with it. Regarding "Fondazion Di Vittorio, Italy", please refer to the link beneath. http://www.419legal.org/search.php?searchid=47521 <--- just click on here. Please consider the following educational information in general, First of all #You can not win without first buying a lottery ticket. Then # not notify winners by email. # not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to. # not use free email accounts (Yahoo, AOL/Aim, Hotmail, etc) to get in touch with you. # not tell you to call a mobile phone number. # not tell you to keep your winnings secret. # never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize! So any "courier service", "lawyer", "fiduciary agent" or "bank" that a fake "lottery" may have introduced you to should be redflagged as SCAM! Last edited by Awareriskinc : 05-12-2008 at 02:59 AM.

To Admin
I would like to suggest that the posts by geekjock and me
would be better moved to the archive of Vittorio Fondazione, Italy in "Lottery Scam Letter Archives". Also the title should be changed to "Vegas Vip Casino in conjunction with Fiat Group and Vittorio Fondazione" in order to be easily found by search engine together with related archives. Thank you for your consideration and action. PS: After reading this post to Admin, please delete. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Just for your info I failed to send you a PM and get following message. "419legal has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space." Last edited by Awareriskinc : 05-12-2008 at 02:49 AM. Reason: Add PS
