"Oxford International Lottery" (oxfordprmoinfo@mchsi.com)
"Oxford International Lottery" is the name of fake lottery. It is a "419" scam (advance fee fraud). The objective of the scammers is to get "winners" (i.e. thousands of people all receiving identical winning notifications) to send money to them. The only money that ever changes hands in fake lottery scams is from the "winners" (i.e. scam victims) to the criminals. No prize is ever paid out because none exists.
The following emails are part of an Advance Fee Scam. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
If you have any suspect email that you want to report or have checked, you can copy and paste the message text into our "Scam-O-Matic" webform for an instant reply.
If you get suspect emails, you can also forward them to our scam-reporting e-mail address
Though you won't normally get a reply we do use your reports to shut down scammers and to warn others.
