Few days back a lottery scam was discussed here at "Beware! Its a cyber World" in which the name of AUSTRALIA LOTTERY INCORPORATION was used. Now Another version of the same type of scam is available to misguide innocent internet users. The following email I received today only and found it worth-sharing with my readers; so that any kind of victimization can be minimized.
The mail is forwarded from maryjack6307@yahoo.com and been instructed to contact Mr. Kenneth Moss at kennethmoss.office@yahoo.com.
Dear readers, don't believe it and don't respond to any of the contacts given in the mail whether it is Mary Jack or Kenneth Moss. Your any kind of response will make them sure that your email address is live and you will start getting hell of spam mails.
