The main thing with these fraudulent e-mails is the fact that you need
a well known lottery company or an business giant such as Microsoft
or, as in this case, Shell Petroleum.

The money has to come from somewhere, doesn’t it?

All of these companies are regularly misused for lottery scams. Basically the crooks are using the brand names to try and achieve a higher trust factor.

Trust is a very hard thing to gain online. And as the crooks are not in a position to provide their own trust factor, they use the names of well know companies and public persons to lull potential victims into believing what they are offering is an honest offer or, as in this case lottery company.
