United Kingdom? Then why does this email look like it comes from a Taiwanese government organization and why is the “reply to” email address an AOL address? Funny how an email claiming I’m a winner based on my “identity” makes absolutely no mention of anything which could be considered my identity.
Based on the IP address from which this email originated, it looks like a computer belonging to the Taipei City Fire Department has been compromised.
To whom it may concern; I have fallen for the scam artost again. I received a postcard; it looked life the same ones I had gotten before, It stated that due to the fact that I was not at home I had a limited time to collect it. It was $10 thousand $. When I ran it through my conputer; there was no such place. I pray that our Heavenly Father takes this little scam artist ring, and do whatever the Lord feels they deserves.““““““““““““Georgie Martin
