Skoda Lottery

upgraded security on my PC (to Kaspersky).

Scary story.

What security were you running previously?

Of course it is, I'm sure Neil realises that...............well I sure hope he does!
I regularly receive similar e-mails, I've even had on e purporting to be from VW........these are instant delete items of course.

Ive been getting these lottery winnings lately, don't know why. I must now be a billionaire
Most have been from Africa and England then today from Skoda.
I keep hitting the block sender button but they still seem to get through.

I've won millions each year for the past 2 or 3 ... (sigh) ... sadly, they were of a similar nature to yours (Nigerian scammer-types).

Obviously your email providers have poor or no spam filtering.

Get yourselves a GMail account, where the spam filtering is very good, and you can download using POP3 as well. Plus you can change ISP and keep the same email address.

I haven't received any winnings into my Outlook inbox but there's usually a fair few items in the spam folder on the GMail server...

CA Vet anti-virus (no firewall then, I have that and more now)

Not sure it is a good idea to suggest that this obvious spam e-mail is genuine because some idiot may possibly do just what you suggested you did and send their money. Perhaps you should edit your post to the effect that you are joking.

Yeah I thought that, but if someone is dumb enough to send money, then I'll sleep at night still...in fact if they are dumb enough to do that, I'll provide them with a local bank account and broker it for them....may as well keep the money local.
