Google Lottery International Email Scam

Do you know barrister Jones?

He or she reminds me of one of the Great Bee Gees’ songs. However, this is a dangerous man or maybe a woman. I think some people over there know him or her because s/he used to send email spam to people telling them false claims about some millions of Dollars s/he wanted to deposit into their bank accounts if those people provide him by their full details.

Barrister Jones has another bad habit. This habit is about changing his email spam’s mode every time and then. S/he has changed lately to send Google Lottery International notifications to lottery winners.

There is nothing called Google Lottery International I reckon. I could possibly be wrong, but whatever it is I will not follow this cheater. Here is one of his or her latest changes to his or her scam tactics.
