Fwd: YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS WON THE LOTTERY.

Administrator

This is the first time I've gotten this particular scam. Has anyone
else gotten it?

It seems to me that this is pretty clearly breaking the law, and
fairly easily enforceable.

These folks:

.. at least have this particular scam recorded.

Damn its getting dangerous out there!

Fwd: YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS WON THE LOTTERY.

Congratulations on receiving your first lottery spam. I receive
hundreds of these things, on almost a daily basis. I no longer see
them, because Spam Assassin effectively filters them out.
