This one I like. They even say “Your funds are now deposited with A BANK, a reputable BANK”. Now isn’t that reassuring?

LUCKY WINNER

There is a lot of dubiousness about online lotteries. I know that here in Germany there are a lot of “agents” making a lot of money on people who are looking for the safe and easy win.

So it’s not surprising that this one is using Freelotto as a front. And of course, Microsoft, Toshiba, Dell and others are the quoted as being sponsors.

This a good example of crooks using a legal website and organisation name for some really dirty deeds. They even go as far as to set up a domain name similar to Atlanpole to give the impression they are from this organisation.

But be warned it is a bad trap where you can not only lose money but also find yourself on the wrong side of the law!

Remember the woman with cancer I told you about some time ago? She told such a sad tale that you couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.

This exact same story is being used here, with the diference that the person named here, Sabirah Hani, says she comes from Libia.

If you ask me, it is a sacrilege these people using Religion, either Christianity or Islam, for their criminal purposes. A devout person would say they should “burn in Hell” for the misery they cause.

Asalam alaikum

I am Hajia SABIRAH HANI from Libya .
I am married to Late Mallam OSMAN HANI of blessed memory was an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Muslims. Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems When my late Husband was alive he made a huge deposit in millions of US dollars with a Deposit Company in oversea. (I will tell you the amount as we proceed).
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a Muslem organization or devoted Muslim individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instructs herein. I want this Muslim organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund mosques, orphanages, widows, and also propagating the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds the views and belief of the Holy Quran.
The Holy Quran emphasizes so much on ALLAH’S benevolence and this has encourage me to take the bold step. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are into some radical organisations and I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an Unholy manner. Hence the reasons for this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficent and the most merciful.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With ALLAH all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply on Email: I shall give you the contact information of the Deposit Company in oversea where the money was deposited. I will also issue a letter of authority to the Deposit Company authorizing them that the said fund Have being willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and the Muslim community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Muslims worthy of emulation Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must serve him in truth and in fairness. I will not stipulate any precise amount to reward you as it will have to be on pre-negotiated terms,based on your level of involvment.
Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for a Muslim organization or a devoted Muslim for this same purpose. Until I hear from you email my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect you.
Allah Hafiz.
HAJIA SABIRAH HANI

This is an unusual message, because they have quoted 7 contact addresses, of which 3 are supposedly Advocates!

The other main point is, that they are calling their lottery after the Freemailer “Zwallet”. This is just to make sure that the receiver believes he is dealing with Zwallet and not a group criminals doing the lottery scam.

Messages like this one are a sign of the times. A lot of people are looking for alternative ways of earning money. This is a scam especially setup to cater to exploit this.

Under the illusion of being company representatives, victims happily cash in money from equally ignorant “customers”, who are also victims. The cash for the service or product is sent to the “head office” through Westen Union. That means the money is gone forever as soon as it is picked up at the other end!

Now the “Company Representative” believes he is doing honest work, but the truth is, he is just being used to milk as many customers as possible, before the swindel explodes.

The problem the “Representive” then faces is, that he is the only contact person the customers has. So what happens then?

I expect you can guess. The customers report the fraud to the police and name the “Representative” as the only direct contact they have. The “Representative” gets taken to court for fraud and cannot prove that he has worked in “good faith” for the company.

I have spoken to several victims involved in cases like this one. They were all sentenced for fraud.

What’s obvious is, getting payments from customers in our modern Internet world is easily achieved with credit cards and other online methods and does not need middle men.

Here are the names of people behind this (at least they are the names which are publically available):

Representative of the company

Our company takes leading positions on the market of our granted services. As our main office is located in U.K., we do not have the possibility to cooperate perfectly with our clients from different countries. That is why we are searching for the people who would become our representatives in those countries where our clients are. You may be one of those people.

You should have a bank account and a few hours a week of free time to receive and forward the funds of our company. Many people ask why our clients can not send the money to the Companys bank account directly. Unfortunately, our bank limited the receipt of such funds from abroad. That is why we have to hire people who would become our representatives in other countries.

YOUR WORK is to receive the payments on your bank account and send them to our Company through Western Union services. As we start to present our services only after the receipt of the payments, you should take the money from the bank and send it directly to us through Western Union. After that we will render the complete set of services for the client. On carrying out a successful bargain you will be attached to the client as a financial agent of the company. Accordingly, making up a unified team, we will be able to improve the productivity and reputation of our Company.

XmediaBuil is an integrated marketing firm that helps guide clients through new paths of marketing success. Our quick, instinctive and disciplined approach assures all your tracks are covered before any strategy or creative execution begins. Nearly extinct in an industry running wild with mega-agencies, XmediaBuil nurtures client relationships with an intimate, personalized approach.

We hope, that you have read the information about our company, which offers advertising services in different kinds of business. We have fulfilled many orders of different advertizers and sponsors in some countries of the Italy. Taking into consideration increasing demand we need more agencies in Italy. So, we would like to offer you to work with us as our oficial representatives in your countries. You will get an excellent salary and it wouldn’t be difficult for you. Besides, you will get an opportunity to be more skilled in this branch of business.
If our proposal is interested for you,

please contact us: manager@digicreator.biz
