Lottery Scam Investigative Discoveries in ActionBy using eMailTrackerPro and Visual Route to track scam email, Fraud-Aid uncovers Lottery Scam fraud rings. ____________________
Caroline Jensen and Michelle Hay Lottery Scam letters Anyone can sign up with any email service advertised on the Internet. The user's physical location is of no consequence to the email service, meaning that you can open an email account with an email service located anywhere in the world. An IP (Internet Provider) is what the owner of that email service is called. Case in point: today M. L., a Fraud-Aid.com Lottery Scam database contributor, sent in several pieces of email correspondence from a Lottery Scam. Tracking the emails for entry into the database revealed that the "Caroline Jensen" Lottery Scam letter is a form letter traded around fraud ring members active in this scam. VisualRoute shows that the "Caroline Jensen" form letter has been sent from two separate locations: one from an IP in Paris, France, and the other from an IP in Sidney, Australia. The Australia address is the very same IP that sent the "Michelle Hay" Lottery Scam letter (the author of that scam letter is actually located in either Portugal, Greenland, or Cape Verde). The so-called claims agent "Lawrence Smith" in the Australian "Jensen" scam is sending email from somewhere in Canada, Mexico, or the American Southwest. But he or she is using different IP's - one in San Diego, California, one in Bangkok, and a counterfeit bank document was sent from a third IP in Nigeria. It's quite possible that the same person, the same con artist, sent the original Lottery Scam letter as well, then merely switched identities from playing the part of the Promotion Coordinator to playing the part of the Claims Agent. The "Jensen" form letter promotes the phony International Lotto UK, while the "Michelle Hay" letter promotes the phony Netherlands International Lottery Promo. As in most form letters, the Reference, Batch, Ticket, and Lucky Numbers have been changed by the con artist but all else remains the same.
