"HONDA CAR LOTTERY" is a fake lottery scam run by Nigerian gang abusing the name of the car company. This follows a similar pattern as the "Microsoft lottery" scam, which has been going on for many months. The wording of the scam emails is very similar to the "BANK GIRO LOTERIJ" scam in the Netherlands, even the "reference code" is the same. Similar scam exists under the names "BMW Land Car Lottery", "TOYOYA CAR PROMOTIONS" and "Jaguar Landrover Award Promotions".
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).
