Le lotterie in rete, o meglio le truffe ordite ai danni degli incauti con la scusa delle lotterie, pare vadano ancora di moda, nonostante se ne parli molto in giro e perfino il programma Striscia la Notizia abbia dedicato loro diversi servizi. Ecco un messaggio della (falsa) lotteria di Yahoo:

L’oggetto del messaggio era Your Email Have Won £800,000.00… non si sa bene dove prendano tutti quei soldi… L’email di provenienza è info@lottery.com, ma per rispondere si deve scrivere a office_of_fiduciary@myway.com.

Potete anche divertirvi a rispondere all’email, l’importante è che non forniate a sconosciuti i vostri dati personali…
