Here’s another example of using a name with a high trust value for a bogus lottery.

To tell the truth it’s ridiculous using the United Nations for a lottery scam e-mail. it just goes to show that some of these crooks are not that intelligent.

But, I am sure some people will fall for it.

They don’t actually call it a lottery in this one, but it’s written like the Yahoo & MSN scam e-mails which have been reported often here. Instead of MSN they name Windows Live as the cooperation partner. Looks as though they are modernizing.

The Longsight district of Manchester is mostly a urban area and if you look at the Stockport Road on Google Maps you will see there are hardly any office or commercial buildings of any kind.
