Hello nanika,

Welcome to FraudWatchers.

The email you have quoted is indeed 100% spam and 100% scam. The email addresses lotterycentre1@canada.com lotterycentre1@yahoo.ca lottoclaimsagent@mighty.co.za are all free webmail providers, typically used by scammers.

The format of the letter follows the typical pattern of a fake lottery, there are many of these in circulation.

Remember, if you never purchased a ticket, you could never win a lottery. It's a con.

Google the ticket number and you will see it pops up quite a bit.

Yes, this is absolutely a scam :)

Signs that give it away -

lotterycentre1@canada.com
lotterycentre1@yahoo.ca
lottoclaimsagent@canada.com
lottoclaimsagent@mighty.co.za
(these are all free email addresses, you can get your own account with canada.com, yahoo.com and mighty.co.za too)

A search for the Euro-Afro-American Sweepstakes Lottery - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Euro-Afro-American+Sweepstake+Lottery&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

shows you just how many websites this is listed as a scam on. :)

Any lottery based in Canada would be unlikely to have an agent in South Africa! But they have tried to tie the two countries together here, saying about the winners will go to the world cup in South Africa. It certainly is a good story they are using.

Thanks for posting it here, it will save other people from being scammed. And welcome to Fraudwatchers, feel free to come back anytime with queries :)

Hilarious!! :lol: :lol:

So Canada holds a lottery to sponsor South Africa, pays out in US dollars via a London agent ? And luckily there is the Swiss zonal co-ordinator for African winners!? :D Oh, and I see the best choice of mail provider was a Russian webmail! :D

Thanks for sharing.
