The African crooks like using non-profit organisations like International Awareness as a front for their scam or fraudulent messages. I wonder if this will show up as much as Fondation de France has?

Somehow I get the impression that the Africans often don’t understand what they are putting together for fraudulent e-mails like this one.

Sure, Microsoft and Vodafone may cooperate on a business basis, but State Lotteries such as the Dutch Staatsloterij don’t cooperate with any sort of company on the scale suggested here.

One point of note is the e-mail address. Do you see they are using voda-fone.org?

This is unusual, as the owner can be traced. Even though the Registrant is using a cloaking service to hide behind, authorities such as police can force the service company to disclose the person behind the Domain name. Here’s the registry data:
