After reading the wonderfull announcement from the Lucky Strike Lottery, that I had won 6, 500, 000 I decided to check the internet in case this was another scam. (I had previously been sent many emails from Nigeria, but not stung!!)
Unfortunately I discovered that several other people had received the identical ticket, serial and lucky numbers! Three identical letters, besides A.Young's email address, was sufficient to confirm my suspicion.
We all had to contact Mr Andrew Young by email or by fax (& not call him on his satellite phone like I tried, but to no avail.)
His email address changed for various "winners". The digit 5, before the @ varies from letter to letter: [email protected]
Too bad it's a scam as I could most certainly have put my 6, 500, 000 to good use!!
Here is my copy of the letter:
