All above given examples are related to the name of NOKIA Lottery. But always remeber:

The Lottery Fraud. How could you win - you never bought a ticket!
(As they say in Russia: "You get free cheese only in a rat's trap".)
Be warned, they promise millions but first you have to pay...

All that I've to say at the end "Be Ware! It's a Cyber World".

Take Care and Good Bye up to the next Mega Million Story
