Usual mail today … credit card bill, bank statement, and, hello what’s this? A plain 1st class envelope with no markings. Something official.

I’ve won £900,000 in the International FIFA World Cup Online Lottery!

The drinks are on me!!! Or are they …

Firstly, I have not bought such a lottery ticket. Secondly, a quick Google search shows it is a scam. Pity, for just a moment I thought I was in the money.

The letter from vice-president Rose Murray, based in Zurich, says that I have won £900,000 by playing the International FIFA World Cup Online Lottery Program.

It claims the lottery was set up to change ‘lives of the millions of people’. Aye, the folk who are behind the scam designed to steal victims’ cash.

Here is a statement from Derbyshire Police from a couple of years back: https://www.derbyshire.police.uk/news/derbyshire/news/news/south/2019/april/fake-lottery-letters-sent-to-derbyshire-residents/
