You're a Winner of the Olympia Lottery International
Just one little teenie weenie detail to complete

One of the most common scams being offered on the Internet is the advanced fee scam. There are the common culprits like the Nigerian Scams and other 419 style schemes, but the lottery scam is at times run by the same groups as the 419 scams.

When you receive the email claiming you are a lottery winner, the first thing that comes to anyone's mind is when did I ever enter this lottery? The reason given is that your email address was "attached" to the numbers offered in the email. Oh that explains everything. Well to some it does, to others it still means where the heck is my delete key?

If you have received a fake lottery scheme email in the past you might be aware that the first prize is never offered, you are always told your numbers are the second of more popular, the third category winner. This is done to make the email look slightly more affective. After all what are the odds of winning the grand prize? In most countries the odds are just as tough to beat as the third place prize.
