Consider the following facts about real lotteries: They do not notify winners by email. You can not win without first buying a lottery ticket. They do not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to. They do not use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate with you. They do not tell you to call a mobile phone number. They do not tell you to keep your winnings secret. They will never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize! The following phrases should put you on alert: "fiduciary agent" (real lotteries do not use a "claim agent" / "fiduciary agent") "fudiciary" (real lotteries do not use a "claim agent" / "fiduciary agent") "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.) "amsterdam holland" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams) "cheque " (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash) Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. This email lists free webmail addresses. Besides personal use for legitimate purposes, use of such addresses is also typical for scams. NOTE: Lotteries, banks, government agencies and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.
