Lottery Scam Letter

Cresterlotto South Africa/International Promotions

Mary Vanklinkhen, Promotions Manager

Prince Ochuko, Claims Manager

 

Letter Source Report: This letter appears to have originated in Johannesburg (Joburg) South Africa; In fact, it originated from a location 1 hour East of GMT whereas as Joburg is in the +0200 Time Zone.  This indicates that the swindler is probably sitting in The Netherlands or thereabouts, accessing the Internet through the Internet Service Provider (ISP) The Internet Solution.  Therefore, my report goes to abuse@webmail.co.za since this is their own email service.

NOTE: The name "Prince Ochuko" is a common name used in Nigerian Scam Letters.
