In their quest to find names which can impress people, these crooks have happened upon Mercedes Benz. Of course it’s a name that is well known the world over for quality cars. That’s why they use it here. To give the reader the impression that what they are reading is plausible and true.

Of course, Mercedes Benz would never be a sponsor without having a marketing advantage for themselves. On top of which, the company is very conservative and would not stoop to such marketing tools as lotteries. They just don’t need it.

“Dr. Mrs.” that’s good

The proposed takeover of Yahoo by Microsoft is not yet a reality, but this does not prevent the African crooks from using the company names for a bogus lottery.

The Yahoo/Microsoft combination has been used quite often in the past as our archives show.

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:
