I received a text message from +1 (330) 299-8493 stating that my phone number has been randomly picked as a winner of 1,000,000$. The message told me to email
[email protected], for more information regarding the million I "won". I sent to them a blank email and they replied with saying "The organization of the mega millions has drawn my number......and so on". They told me that there were two ways I could receive the money, (by bank transfer or cashier cheque.) I sent "cashier cheque". A small but important detail is that the emails I received would contain grammar issues such as random periods, un capitalized words, and they kept switching from -check to cheque-; but it's the same person, so why would she/he (by the way, the emailers name was Dermot Mulroney, but by the fourth email the name was Deborah Neil.) change the spelling of words. All the grammar issues made me sure it wasn't a machine. After I requested a cashier check/cheque, they said I'm required to send them my name, address, mobile phone number, etc... For the sake of knowledge, I did. They sent an email a few minutes after what I had sent and my name was on the email I received. It told me to email Deborah Neil, the transaction id that was in the third email. After I did that, the next email I received was also an important one. Said email told me that I was required to send 1,500USD to Grace Evens, at 7896 SIMMONDS AV. Manchester UNITED KINGDOM 3480 for insurance, courier fees, and tax service. Even thought it was a deferent person, there were still many grammar and punctuation mistakes. She misspelt organization! She put organisation. I copied the address above and pasted it to google maps and it had no search results. That is the address that I'm supposed to send money to using western union or money-gram.
