Subject: Fwd: Congratulations-Final winning Notification (XXXXXXX@yahoo.com) 03/16/2005 1:11 pm RE: Fwd: Congratulations-Final winning Notification

Dear XXXXX:
To answer your question, YES this is a scam. I am sorry to hear you sent them money. You will never get it back. Two rules for a lottery is:
1st If it is real they will never ask you for any money before they send you your winnings.
2nd You will not win a lottery if you did not enter it.
Part of the scam is to get the person to send them money. Sometimes after you send them money the first time they will tell you something came up and you need to send another payment. I have seen this before, any money you send is lost. If you sent them a check and it has not cleared your bank, get a hold of your bank and CANCEL the check asap. Also, if you sent them a check from your bank account then they already have you bank information. Your account number, routing number, and your signature is all on the check. If thats the case you should get any money you have in that account out of it then close that account and open up a new one. Also let your bank know whats going on.
When I saw you lottery e-mail I knew if was a scam because I have read hundreds of these e-mails and they are all are based on the same format. The only major different between them is the email address, names, and amount of the winnings.
Sincerely John
P.S. Below is just one version of the scam lottery letter you got. I did a search and found many different versions of the same lottery e-mail. If you would like to see more copy and paste the words Luckyday Lottery into Yahoo internet search engine.

So then I sent this back:

Dear XXXXXX :
It is up to you what you do with this. All I can say is that this is a scam. The 310 euros you already paid is lost, you will not get that back. In the reply to your email yesterday that I sent you, I said they would probably want you to send more money. If you do send more money, you will lose it as well, and you will never see the $623,000.00. They will take your money and disappear. This is what they do for a living, ripping people off and stealing their hard earned money. As long as you keep sending them money they will keep asking you for more. As for: has anyone won before? The answer is NO! and they have not got their money back. It is lost.
After doing a quick search for the banks name "Bronze Bank" the only thing that comes up are piggy bank ( kids coin banks) and other things like Bronze Bank book ends, etc. There is no bank that goes by the name "Bronze Bank" at lease not that they have any listing that is available on the internet.
Here are a few links for you to read about Lucky Day Lottery international Scam:

5. http://www.mail-archive.com/kirim@ketawa.com/msg01917.html
If it was me I would report this to you local police dept. and who ever they say to report it to. I do not believe they will be able to do anything to get your money back that you already sent. But you never know. Next I would forget about the money you sent and learn from this and never ever send money to anyone that sends you an email saying you won money or they want to give you money if you send them money. These things are scams plain and simple. Do not give out any personal information, or financial information about yourself. These things can be used to steal your identity. If this happens you could find yourself owing money to places you never heard of, or been to, and for things you never bought.

All the poems and stories in my site were written with the hope that they would stir the reader's emotions. I wrote most of them from my own life's experiences and those of the people I have met through out my life. The others I wrote simply from an over active imagination.
They are not meant to portray my emotional state or that of anyone person, but rather the possible emotional state of most people at sometime in their life.
Although some deal with what some people would call fantasy. The ones about Dragon's (who's to say there were no Dragon's once or that they may still be around), even they can stir up ones emotions.

I started building my Lair back in late 1996 when I was with AOL. In 2001 I left AOL and moved my lair to its current home.
It was originally created using Allaire's - HomeSite 3.0, then Homesite 4.0, and as of Feb. 6th, 2005 I started using HTML-Kit Version 1.0 (Build 292).
Also on Feb. 6th, 2005 I began updating DragonMay's Lair from HTML code to CSS code, and I finished it on March 7th, 2007.
On Monday, Sep 26th, 2005 I started adding my Rail Way Station to my site. Due to some small bugs which were quickly worked out as we came across them, and my work schedule I finely got it up and running with 4 (four) different internet "Rail Way" trains running in and out of it on Saturday, Oct 8th, 2005.
I am now up to Ten pages which currently have 175 Scam Emails with 35 Scam Emails on each of the first four pages and 177 Lottery Scam Emails with 37 Lottery Scam Emails on the first page, and 35 Lottery Scam Emails on the other four pages. I also have 22 email/lottery scam pages where I replied to the scammers. Along with one page on Chase bank scam emails, a page with other bank scam emails, a page with scam job offers, and a page about work at home scams. My internet Scam Chamber will continue to grow as I find the time to add all the other scam emails I have and keep getting.
You will find that I add onto it, and remodel it whenever I become bored with the way it looks inside.
There have been over four million visitors to my lair since I opened it.
My Lair is best viewed at screen resolution 1024 x 768 with a 17 inch or larger monitor or 800 x 600 with a smaller monitor.
It is best when viewed on Internet Explorer Version 6.0
Other browsers may not show the pages correctly or completely.
This site can also be viewed correctly using Netscape Browser it you have it set to use the Internet Explorer "Rendering Engine".
Too set this up in your Netscape Browser; with it open click on Tools, then Options, then Site Controls. In this window look to the lower right corner for Rendering Engine and select Internet Explorer and click OK. If you do not have Internet Explorer's Rendering Engine listed you will have to download and install Internet Explorer (see link above to get I.E.).
If you do not have Netscape Browser and would like to try it you can download it from here:
If you want to see my lair with the Font I use you will need to have the font Antique. If you do not have it you can download it here: Antique Font
The Music on some pages are set to auto-play and loop. Other pages are not set to auto-play. You can turn the music on and off with the controls at the bottom of every page.
It works best if you use RealOne Player as your default Midi Internet player.

All my poems and stories are copyrighted. That does not mean I think they are great, but rather that I wish for them not to be taken and used against my will to represent something I did not intend them to. They are for the enjoyment of those who wish to read them, nothing more.
If you would like to use one or more of my poems for school, all I ask is that the poem/poems be copied in full including the copyright information. And that you email me twice. First to let me know which poem/poems you want to use. And a second email to let me know what comments good or bad were made about the poem/poems. As this will help me in the future to write even better poems.
If you would like to use one or more of my poems for any other reason, please email me with which poem and what you would like to use it for. I will get back to as soon as possible, as I check my email everyday 3 (three) or 4 (four) time a day.
I do not want any of my poems, or stories displayed, or put up on anyones else's web site. You are how ever, more than welcome to put a link to any Poem or Story in my Lair on your site if you would like.
