"CONTINENTAL E-MAIL LOTTERY" is a label used by criminals in a fake lottery scam / advance fee fraud. As in all "419" scams, the promised fortune serves to tempt victims into sending money to the criminals, who demand "fees", "taxes" or other ficticious charges that have to be paid by the victim before he/she can receive the (non-existent) lottery prize.
Please send us replies by "claims agents", especially money demands and payment instructions, we will publish them 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 domains / addresses to be suspended because they are used in a 419 fraud (see 419 FAQ).
