Lottery Scam Letter

Goldland Email Lottery International

Andy Martins and Mrs. Williams Rice

 

Letter Source Report: This letter appears to have originated in Anaheim, California.  According to eMailTrackerPro, it did not.  The eMailTrackerPro results show the letter was originally sent from "mail.yehey.com with HTTP;Sun, 23 Nov 2003 19:12:39 +0800 (PHT)".  This means that the mail was sent from a location 8 hours East of Greenwich Meant Time (GMT), which lands the source squarely in the Philippines (PHT= PHilippines Time).  VisualRoute WHOIS result  shows that a Spam REPORT should be directed to abuse@globalcrossing.com

Additionally, please note that the "claims agent" is named Mrs. Williams Rice.  This is a typical Nigerian 419 fraud name.  Using a traditional family name as a first name is quite popular in Nigerian Scam Letters.
