I also got the same message. I knew it was a SPAM Message, so I deleted it. Yeah I'm also sure that it is from a Singaporean Site & .com.sg, never heard or seen any such endings for a web site. Those domains must be pretty new or the sender is using some PHP Anonymous Script Mailer so that he can enter all those bull *BLEEP* datas.

BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS?

I'm have got 3 mails of these kinds after I have signed up for hosting account at Trap17. I have got my account but along with that I'm also getting all these kinds of wierd messages. No offense Guys but I think some one in the Trap17 Admin section is misusing our data. Hey I'm not sure but I'm just suggesting. It may be the case. I am not saying that They are the one doing it but all those mails started coming to my mailbox after I started using Trap17. I think the Admins should be informed. More over the original poster of the message also is a member of Trap17 Forums. Both the mails are exactly the same. Letter to letter. I don't have the copy of the mail cause I deleted it considering it to be a sure SPAM but I remember the details( Come on who can forget that he had received a letter stating that he won UK Lottery of £1000,000.00 GBP ). I hope you get my point.

I didn't get any spam e-mail from trap17.com. I don't know how but some people find your e-mail address when you just create it, I just don't know how. And I suggest to all of you to have e-mail on gmail service. They have realy functionating spam filters. I used to have account at inbox.com but I was always getting spammy e-mails. And hotmail is the worst of free e-mail providers. In a one month I get about 1000 spammy e-mails, and gmail put them in spam section, so I don't open them. I just delete them all. And in my real gmail inbox I don't get any of e-mail spam. Also from the last year gmail don't put any kind of ads on your massages.

I for some reason recently received an email saying I won the UK lottery for the sum of 1,000,000 GBP. It is obviously a scam or I'm rich.

Obviously e-mail that you got is spam. That is just logic, who will give you £1000,000.00 GBP for nothing? Who could know how many people got the same e-mail. When you don't know sender of your e-mail just delete it. That is my advice.

Regards.

i have gotten a few of the spam emails, and i always laugh at them, i even gotten one form the FBI (when i saw that one, the thought was why aren't they at my door?) but the thought i got form the email from the lottery winning ones i get are.... heck if i reply with information, then all they need is a picture and there they have a ID or passport with my name on it.....

[SpiderVV]

Haha, I know a guy who actually gave them fake details and they ended up replying "Thanks for your details! Your money (or anything) will be deposited soon". Then I think he got a message from the FBI too saying You just did illegal activity, your home address is (IP). Of course the IP was wrong because it was like 45.344.985.1 and AFAIK, IP's number limit is 255.

This is a scam.I used to live in singapore and I know that they do not control the UK draws .I have received tons of scams like this. They will try to steal your Id and try to get money from you or will ask you to give a deposit. I have received tons of emails like this. And how can they raise so much money without you doing anything,right?
