Got an email with subject: Your email won US$2,100.000.000
From Flash Lottery, [email protected]. Said it was sponsored by the South African Government.
I called the 27 number in south africa and they responded with and email to contact their bank (they sent info). I researched this on the internet and found out in seconds it was a scam. Apparently their bank asks you to send them money and provide your bank account number for them to "deposit" your winnings, when, in fact, they withdraw all your funds instead.
Oh, so crude. But I can now say I've actually talked to a human scammer/criminal on the phone.
