We got a letter today saying that we won 600 odd grand in a lotto draw, and to forward 10% for processing etc. This was a posted letter, not an email, (postmarked Malaga). Its clearly a scam.
Funny thing is it used our correct address, but my wifes married name ... and she has only recently changed her name (last month or so). We can't figure out how these people got her name & address - its not on any correspondence, on any bills, and the address is correct, but has a strange abbreviation in it - not something that either or us would do.
Any ideas on where they might source the info??? I would love to find out who gave them the info ... but all I can come up with is the Govt offices where you get your name changed ...
