I received the following e-mail from someone listed as ‘Liverwood’.

Congratulations! Your e-mail has been Chosen as the PRIZE winner of £1,500,000.00 British Pounds ($2,455,006.77 USD), in a Promotion Draw Held JUNE, 2011 in England.

THANKS

Except my e-mail address wasn’t even listed on the e-mail. Not to mention that whole I’ve never even been to England thing. The exchange rate is a couple of thousand off too.

Again I post these scam e-mails that I receive in the hopes that I can help at least one person not be tricked by this and once the scammers have no more victims they’ll go away.

    The exchange rate can change on a daily basis. They don’t even use British pounds as a form of currency. Since joining the European Union, Euros is their form of currency.

    • Robburnsefc

      They do use British Pounds, despite being in the EU.

      • Brendacomeaux

        But I wonder if the pound and Euro have the same value?

      The catch is that if you try and claim the supposed prize they’ll request a ‘processing fee’ and if you send them any money you’ll never see any prize.
