Oddly enough, I went to the Swiss Lotto website and can’t read it as I speak neither German, Italian or French.  With that in mind, I am offering my opinion on why this is a scam lottery email similar to those using the National Lottery UK name in their scam emails.

This scam lottery email bites the dust with a check of the email addresses. The FROM email address is forged –

post@swisslotto.ch

The REPLY email address is what we are really concerned about –

kennethgram@ymail.com

If we want to actually communicate with someone about our winnings, then we are to use this email address –

accessbradley@ymail.com

Seriously — is the Swiss Lotto going to use private individuals with FREE and PUBLIC email address to pass out lottery winnings?  Not to mention lottery winnings that you didn’t buy/enter in to begin with? And how about the keeping your winnings private and confidential? Wouldn’t a legitimate lottery organization value the publicity of winners talking?

I didn’t think so either …
