LADS IN SPACE

Thanks to a Kindly Contributor. We don't normally post just a description of a page by itself but this seemed too unusual to put on the Possibly Fake Bank page. We did however feel ok about using one of the images, since it's very likely in the public domain (your tax dollars at work and one of the better uses of them, IOHO). Kind of takes you back to the old Star Trek show, no?

Update: Thanks to the Dutch Association of Chambers of Commerce and the Dutch Ministry of Justice, Netherlotto has been taken down. We are told they found the Netherlotto page funny, if illegal.

Further update!: From a Kindly Updater in the UK: "...Netherlotto is BACK - http://www.netherlottocorp.com may be gone, but http://www.netherlotocorp.com/ (single 't') is very much up and running, complete with NASA photo! I was contacted by Thomas Jonka at 'Euroshore Financial' about my 1.5M dollar 'win', to say that I needed to send 3,950 UK pounds to claim (yeah right!). The Euroshore website is up and looks official too: http://www.euroshorefinancial.co.uk."

So i'm playing with a lottery scam (nothing worth being on the site, but fun to pass the time) when I get an email with a juicy link....

http://www.netherlottocorp.com

Take a gander at that computer room! According to them, they need that computer room to gather email addresses and then, wait for it......draw random number.

That's all fine and good....except for the fact that the computer room is actually NASA mission control....



Perhaps they're trying to be the first 419 scammers to get into orbit? Maybe send some intergallactic spam?

And on the page about the winners.... ""ONE DAY I RECEIVED AN ANONYMOUS EMAIL FROM NETHERLOTTO CORPORATION THAT I WON A PRIZE , I TOLD MY HUSBAND AND HE SAID IT WAS A SCAM. HOWEVER I TOOK A BOLD STEP TO PROCESS MY WINNING, TODAY AM A MILLIONAIRES THANKS BE TO GOD". ROSA DE MIGUEL, AGE-38 OSAKA, JAPAN."

Yeah, because legit companies put RIGHT ON THEIR PAGE that people thought it was a scam. God scammers are morons!

I just thought it was funny, and if you hadn't seen it, would get a kick out of it ;-)
