6 MILLION DOLLARS?!? WOOHAW! I’M RICH, RICH I TELL YA!
oh… wait…
I just violated the secrecy clause, didn’t I?
*smirk*
BTW, in case you’re wondering, Technik-AG.com is not knowingly sending this spam, but whoever sent it is somehow using the email feature in PHP-Nuke which is installed at that domain to send it, I believe. There are other examples available via google on this particular scam showing that PHP-Nuke is being used in this way. The “prize” values differ, mine just happens to show $6 MILLION DOLLARS! LOL
The IP and kasserver.com both are out of Germany.
cashchangeltduk.org resolves to a Yemi Williams out of Jamaica, NY.
fastermail.com resolves to Outblaze Limited out of Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, China.
You can also Google for Tripple Wins International Games and get quite a list of fraud notices on various web sites and forums.
And in case there were any further doubts that this is a scam, the Reference Number in this spam is not unique to me, according to Google.

A few days ago a nigerian was arrested in Portugal for this same scam. When someone contacts them, they ask for an ammount in order to claim your “prize”.
Meaning, that it could be useful if you forward the received email to the authorities, to be investigated…

already trashed the email

So you really don’t think you have won?
I’m not sure what dismays me more, the fact that people think that others will fall for this scam or the fact that people actually fall for this scam.

LOL!
This is why I have the Category “Clues for the Clueless” *chuckles*
Hopefully it also helps people who don’t know how to read headers.
