419 Scam Example: "BMW LAND Cars Promotional Lottery"
"BMW LAND Cars Promotional Lottery" is a fake lottery scam run by Nigerian gang abusing the name of the car company. BMW has no connection to these criminals. This follows a similar pattern as the "Honda Car Lottery" and the "Microsoft lottery" scams, which have been going on for many months. Please forward us copies of any replies or money demands by the ""claims agents" (Yahoo Mail: Forward / as Attachment, Outlook Express: Message / Forward as attachment, see "How to report 419 spam to us"). We will publish such replies here. Please forward copies of fraud emails to the abuse department of the webmail address listed as the contact email for the "claims agent". Ask for the addresses to be suspended because they are used in a 419 fraud (see 419 FAQ).
