Lottery Scam Letter

One World International

El Gordo Spanish Sweepstake Lottery

Mrs. Elena Branco, Vice President, Intl Loteria Primitiva

Sergi Gonzale, Claim Agent

 

Letter Source Report: This letter appears to have originated in Germany according to the VisualRoute results.  In fact, it originated from a location 1 hour East of GMT with a time abbreviation of CET (Central Europe). VisualRoute WHOIS result  shows that a ScamSpam REPORT should be directed to Deutsche Telekom Online Service GmbH, hostmaster@t-online.net since there is no "abuse" address.  eMailTrackerPro does not report any attempt to disguise the source.  I received 2 of these, the second one being sent at Fri, 19 Mar 2004 20:56:58 +0100 from the same source.
