Google Email Scam
I recieved a strange email today claiming to be from Google, stating that I have won a lot of money in a draw " £500, 000.00GBP (Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in our online Give-away 1Oth Anniversary draws."
The email copied and pasted in full below is either from a moronic, stupid, individual who believes that people will fall for his/her devious (lol) scam.
or Google have employed a moron to run their prize draw.( I seriously doubt this)
As far as I am aware Google are not running a 10th anniversary prize draw and if they were I am sure that they would have advertised it by now and eveyone on internet land would have heard about it by now.
From start to finish the email I recieved is a shambles, mistakes are everywhere, we could start a competition to see who can find the most of them.
Take a look below at the email.
the first thing that you will notice is that it is sent from a Hotmail account, Why oh Why would Google email anyone from hotmail when they have their very own Gmail hosting.
see how many errors and stupid mistakes you can find.

Totally fake. Thanks so much!
I got an email today from anna.james@googlepromo.org
I replied saying no (no information in the email itself). After I became weary I googled it and found this...
I replied because last week I applied for a job @ Google so I thought maybe it was relevant :( otherwise I would never reply... :(
i got the same mail that i have won 500000 GBP alongwith scanned copy of passport of John David and google winning certficate alongwith UNODC(United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime), Switzerland.
I receive a mail which inscription is google, at first I started processing but have not spent any money only my passport (scanned) and other information about me I sent to them, when they now refer me to their barrister, I now know is a scam, (that I won 500,000 pounds) after filling the remittance form which they sent, they keep on sending more message so as to enable them get something from. I am convince that this is fake...

Iv recieved one too ! now they are in south africa !
mine is 840.000 US dollars.
MFs !
Ruind my day !
But how can they ignore the label copyright acts of Google or any best branded company.It is one of the advantages which lets them to trap the innocent internet users.I think the companies whose brand labels these spammers are using must have a very strict reputation towards it and this way such spams can be avoided to a great extent!
I got one in my mail box two days ago offering me $400,000 US. It was on "google" letterhead and immediately I was mad/hopeful...! Yes, that niggling little voice in my head says, "but it COULD be real". Hmm, yes, really a scam!
Ok, I'm grateful for the Hub! It confirmed my suspicions. It would have been nice to pay off my house and become completely debt free but not today, Grace.
I'd like to nail these folks to the wall. How do I do this?

I have received this email recently. I from Argentina and I think that it ts a big trap. Someone should do something to these people stop to annoy. Is embarrasing and a shame.
I am very angry about that situation.
I have failed to read all the comments -- I see all the originals of these letters in my spam box every day and they are automatically deleted. Anyone who's been in business on the internet can probably spot spam by its headers. Only a few spammers can get me to open the email by making it iffy enough to trick me with a subject header that really could be applicable. But there are new people entering the online world everyday that haven't built up the experience yet to ID junk mail on sight. Your Hub should help them.
i think that the email that was sent among us is enveloped with a virus.
because when i opened my that mail,
my computer runs strange lately and when i surf the net,another page popped out of my screen, a site that i cant recall it anymore.
but in the end, that guy will receive a very bad karma.
same email... but isnt it funny that we all are have the same ticket number bha ha ha ^^, I mailed the jurk back and said: If i won something im not paying any money to get it, they can send a check! Thank you very much! hehehe ^^,
here is what i recieved, i think Google should take stern action against such people.

I got the same one from Google....told them to contact my lawyer for the information they needed before I could get my winnings.....strangely they never responded....
Another funny thing I noticed. I just found an email that looks kinda like yours except it looks really real, although I can tell it is a scam, because Google just settled a law suit against their Google Buzz service, thus now would not be the time to be doing any form of give-away. I have replied to the email asking for contact information for the organization giving away the prizes and for the representative that is supposed to be sending me my prize. I will wait to see if anyone replies and keep you guys in the loop. I look forward to their replay and i expect it to look just as fake as the original message. lol

Scam not that unusual. Currently I have received numerous emails over the past 3 week running similar scams. Here's the list. Two recieved from Central Bank of Nigeria, one each from Dr. Donald Ogaji and Ngozi Philips both claiming they will give me 20% of any profit they make while using my bank account to transfer money. 5 from Robert s. Mueller FBI counter-terrorism division and cyber crime division. Mueller says I get a 2.3 million dollar tax-free payout from oversea somewhere, it only costs $260 dollars to collect. Both Alicia Jones and Esther Moore say I have won $500,000 during a random draw from unnamed internet companies. Ma Delun from the Operations Department of the Bank of China wanted my bank account number and personal information supposedly so we could enter into some sort of business deal. Rosemary Campbell says I won a lot of money in a "trunk box" sceme (whatever that is) I only needed to send her $250 and my personal information. Vanessa Cooke of UK Lottery Internation Promotion INC., says I just won $50,000 and she needs $180 dollars and my personal information to proccess the claim. I was also contacted by Musa Ahmed of South Africa. He wanted my personal and banking information so he could send his family money they needed to survive. Supposedly he had to flee the country and the government froze his accounts. Oh, and by the way I contacted the FBI and the IC3 several weeks ago about someone using the FBI to scam people. Haven't heard back from them, and probably won't.

Yup - 1 May 2009 and I have just received it. A much shorter one than yours, but the various numbers, including the "winning ticket number" were identical to yours. Also, it was addressed to "none", so how could I have been picked out as the winner? The address they gave for me to contact them was promo.announcement11@gmail.com. Though tempted to flame them, I resisted. ;-)
I just recieved an email from 2010 GOOGLE AWARD PROMOTION that I have won $500,000.00 USD and a Brand New Toyota Camry 2010 Model Car. I have not had any doing with Google like this. Can You just imagine to win money and a car without doing anything. Fortunately I opened these pages on Google and I have found that everything is SCAM and CRIMINAL.

The interesting thing is that the google mail spam filter is really very good - but it did not pick this one up!
Hey i have also received this type of email,claiming that i have won 500,000 pound.I would like to thank all the user who posted and shared their words here.This is all "bull-shit".Hey Users THANKS.............
I received it too, and knew it was a scam when I saw the prize money was in British pounds. Google is an American company!
I just got the same email. How can people think that we can drop into this crap specially when it is send from another service supplier.
I got the same mail today .. be careful ..
It amazes me that people are still falling for these scams. There are almost daily warnings about internet fraud. Greedy people are always getting scammed. Greed more than ignorance is the reason people lose money to these thugs.
Thanks for posting this. The email has since changed (much shorter now and includes a name of a person to contact) but it is recognizable by numbers they generated to "identify" you- exactly the same as the ones in yours.

What am I going to do with all the money?
I guess the scammer had become a little... slightly smarter.. I got the same e-mail and the content is exactly the same (apart from the different numbers). Just that for now, they create a different e-mail account.. it's no longer using hotmail, but gmail account! (which makes this scam even more plausible) but still, the huge amount is unbelievable.. it's too good to be true.. Don't fall to prey to this scam =)
What? I didn't really win? I just bought a boat and a house...boy, this sux
I also got this kind of email. I thought I would never got this kinda email since I'm in Jakarta, Indonesia. But when I tried to find out about this promotion and ended up in this hub. Gosh.....I finally know that they do this all around the world!
However, below is the email that I received a couple days ago:

I have received two emails of such kind of scam. One about 1 year ago, and other today. When I got the first one scam email, I honestly responded and exchanged many messages with them until they asked me to pay 1,000 USD first for the wiring cost. I realized it is a scam. After this experience, I can easily recognize whether it is a scam or not. Here are some guidelines.
1. What kinds of email hosting they are using? Can you imagine that a google winning promotion plan would use a hotmail email account?
2. Google the subject they are sending and you will find out the truth, just like this nice bug.
Just received one as well. Notice the lame name and the email address where it came from..

Hi Folks,
This obvious scam is easily punished. Simply press the report spam button and leave Google and their lawyers sort out thes idiots.
Whatever about not even changing the winning numbers, the scammers didn't even get a native english speaker to proof read their email. Anybody who has English as their first language or even a fluent foreign speaker would have noted the clanging grammar
Report the spam and they will be hunted down by Google who understandably resent their corporate identity being used in this fashion. I'm just surprised that google allow somebody to use their name in the email address.
HIT THAT REPORT SPAM BUTTON..
I received this kind of e-mail , i just contacted the RCMP and the SQ in Canada at www.phonebuster.com. We should always act as so, this is the only way we hope this kind of junk will disapear from the net, But there will always be intelligent people using there intelligence to scam others. ciao, Sylvie
Hey jimmy thanks for this, i googled this, as it wasnt picked up in my spam, as all others do. If it was true jimmy, then you have been cheated, as i had the same numbers as you, but i won 850k GB Pounds..alas i shall not collect as i feel all this money would ruin my life..LOL..

Dear Manish, read this message in detail for your full understanding about this transaction. I am CHEKE USU. the Director in charge of Auditing section Bank Of Africa (B.O.A). Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise. AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW, I GOT YOUR IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE INTERNET SEARCH HERE IN OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO. I FASTED AND PRAYED FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE I CONTACT YOU TO BE MY PARTNER. I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficial for both of us. During our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging to a deceased foreigner who died with his wife and their three children in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before my discovery to this development. The said amount is U.S $3.2.00(THREE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after 5 years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin. I dont want this money to go into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed Bill. Be assured that this transaction is 100% risk free. On conclusion of this Project, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me. Please you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you. I will fly down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment will be discussed. On your acceptance to be my partner, i will send you a text of application to fill and send to the bank for payment approval.Regards.Cheke Usu
this in not his real name ....the sender ramain unknow....please dont get in to it......its a scam...i have searched ont net for this....
after some dayes they ask you for money for a parsal..to send to you...and so on....
who would fall for this ?

Yup - 1 May 2009 and I have just received it. A much shorter one than yours, but the various numbers, including the "winning ticket number" were identical to yours. Also, it was addressed to "none", so how could I have been picked out as the winner? The address they gave for me to contact them was promo.announcement11@gmail.com. Though tempted to flame them, I resisted. ;-)
I recieved the same mail today!
"You won the sum of 500,000.00GBP in the on-going Google promotion, you are to contact Mr Newton Brown The online agent assign to handle your funds for more information Email: mrnewton.brown4@live.com.Below are your winning details Computer Generated Profile Numbers (CGPN):7-22-71-00-66-12 (No Ticket Sold)"
Con people will always abound, if only because scamming the gullible is just another business opportunity, wherein the returns outweigh the investment. The post on email marketing above makes that point clearly: you just have to throw a large enough net and some fish will get caught; then you have to keep doing it again and again until even the not so bright fish learn to avoid you. Emails, phone calls, websites, pamphlets. The medium used may vary, but scams are scams. It's good you posted this to inform people.
Like P.T. Barnum said, "A sucker is born every minute." There's a strategy of generating traffic called email marketing in which from 10,000 emails you send, maybe 3% actually visit your site, and from that 300 visits 10 people actually buy from you. So if your product is $25.00, just by sending 10,000 emails you can get $250.00. There are software that can mine people's emails and save them, and software for mass sending of emails, so all you really need to do is sit for a long time in front of your PC.
I suppose it's the same with these false emails that trick people into spending and sending money and detailing their credit card info just to get hold of some elusive prize. So who do we think these scammers are kidding? A lot. The small minority that take them seriously, however, aren't as lucky.
hello everybody, at last, i get it also:

thanks for the hub. thanks for the warning guys. thanks for all your information. that so stupid email.
i just got this exact email...I knew it was a scam right off the bat.
had to google it to see...sure enough...SCAM.
My wife got the message today. The idle sod can't even be bothered to change the winning numbers. But his own e-mail is now giveaway.agent01@gmail.com.
An unusual feature: he gave a genuine return address, belonging to a (presumed innocent) hotelkeeper in Costa Rica.
Thanks for all your information. It confirmed for me what I had been thinking all along. This is my first time to recieve this kind of email. Once again, thank you all.

I had a discussion with almost 15 winners. they all lost their money.
i got a mail from ggogle new year promotion winning cash 500000 british pounds prize from google.on 1st january.i knew that it's a fake...not true but, i have respoced him by given ids & contact with them,..as a result...they have given me so many details ...or delievery opitins to get winning cash....& i tried to contact with them as given theirs number.....just come to know that ...how rudlly they are making fool to people..& now there after sending with all details....since i havent received any mail from them.....hope i will not get it again...
this is nothing but scam to cheat people who believe in getting fast bucks . Do not fall prey. I too had recieved this E mail said to be from google but verified and found bullshit
what if i tell them my info?im such a stupid before to reply them.stupid me.what should i do?
it occures evey day online
i even received a mobile message claimed to be from NOKIA UK
If you were to run a competition for who receives the most of these types of e-mails, I'm sure I'd win! I've been receiving around 40 per day for the last 2 years! My fault I guess as I do encourage spam, in between the rubbish you can find useful info, but the things these people dream up are incredible!
I received one from an African who apparenty started the internet! Yup he was the creator and to prove it he even gave a link to a website that praised his achievements! Then there's the Christian Ministries annual giveaway of charity money and a link to a genuine catholic web site.
Lady Windsor, currently living in Africa but unfortunately dying of cancer has several billion that she doesn't want her family to get their hands on, so she wants me to give it to her cats, and THE director general of the Nigerian National bank is in the unfortunate position of having to 'dispose' of several billion that was left in an account by a presumed dead terrorist. I just need to send him all my personal and bank details together with a blank sheet of paper with my signature at the bottom. Of course I'll mail it first class!
Be warned however that some of these scams can be quite clever. I received one once from Yahoo, and it even had a link to their site so that I could check, well it looked exactly like a yahoo site and I almost, nearly......signed in !
Oh by the way, I forgot to tell you....the only one that isn't a scam is the google award, apparently they are celebrating 10 years and they're giving away fortunes, look out for it in your mail box but you must respond immediately or you lose it.
(Joking!)
I received the same thing! Anyway, I chased it all up, and they said
Send postage and handling charges to (etc.) to receive your prize. Yes, I think its a scam!!!
Well, Have a great day! Thankyou for confirming it for me, too, as now i know! Thanks!
Obviously a 419er. There are actually websites out there that bait these guys and get them to incriminate themsleves (or just make them look stupid) The best one is the 419 eater website at http://www.419eater.com/ The best one I've seen was the one where Chris Hansen of Dateline NBC scammed the scammer in to thinking he was going to be getting a bunch of MONEY!

Obviously they aren't that bright.
I'm rich!!!
Received one like those, from same google online promo. The numbers are the same from Jimmy. So, we'll have to fight to see who gets the prize. See you on battlefield :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

One of the obvious thing to let us judge on wether the email is scam or not is the sender's email addresses. I can say 100% email sent via free mail like hotmail, yahoo mail, google mail are all scams. Why don't they just be wise a little bit next time not to send via free email? Coz it is too obvious for other people to know that they are SCAMMER.
There is a female from North Africa who calls herself Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor age 23, Whose late father apparently left her $30,000,000.00 USD who needs some assistance to release the funds!!! What a load of Bullshit!!!!!!! Watch-out!!!!

haha be very very careful out there my friend cuz internet can be your best friends and your worst enemies
I also got this spam :
You won £500,000.00 GBP in Google Online Give-away promotion. Contact Mr Francis Henson with the following details below through this email: mrf.henson002@googlemail.com. YOUR WINNING DETAILS ARE AS FOLLOW:Computer Generated Profile Numbers (CGPN):7-22-71-00-66-12, Ticket number:00869575733664,Serial numbers: / BTD/8070447706/06, Lucky numbers:12-12-23-35-40-41(12)
I googled bout this Mr Francis Henson, maybe these spammers experienced a bit by using googlemail. but why did they send it to yahoomail not to gmail if it's a google promotion? still such a moron..
I am aware of such emails using Yahoo's name , but the ones I received using Google's name have , so far , been about making money working for Google.However, those are mostly spams ( although not all of them scams) and obviously not from Google. I know that people still do fall into the traps of such phishers because the internet surfer is growing by the hour, but I was surprised to read the second comment here.
These people who send these emails to thousands of people are really quite smart! as there will always be people who are NOT smart, and think its all real and send account details or payments to secure winnings!!
The sad thing is that there are people who fall for these scams! I also get fake phone calls, which begin, 'Congratulations, you have been selected...' (I usually hang up at that point.)
Why would someone pretending to be from Google have a Hotmail address?? Stupid as a sack of rocks...
What a Scam. How can these people send such mail and then consider themself smart and clever. They are the Biggest FOOLs on Earth.
i had a similar thing in my yahoo box a while ago , claiming to be from yahoo . of course , you had to pay a small fee to claim your prize . wonder how many people fell for that one......
I just received a email from Google stating that it was their ten year aniversary, and that i just won the same amount of money. Cant these jerks just leave me alone. I guess what the say is right. The love of money is the root of all evil. Darn scam artist.
Heres the one I received today...
Dear Lucky Winner , Permit me to start this mail by congratulating you as one of our lucky winners of the SECOND QUARTER of the 2008 GOOGLE E_LOTTO PROMOTIONS. In a bid to unify email services offered by all email giants, GOOGLE came out with its internet user rewarding promotions aimed at improving the lots of all email users.

You are being notified because your email address was selected randomly by the e-balloter. Your prize winnings stands at Seventy five Thousand Pounds. (£75,000.00GBP)This amount is subject to change with time depending on the number of winners claims received by the claims depart of Google E-lotto.

I got one too. Really a stupid jerk who did this. nonsense? you just wait for your turn to be fooled....for those honest poeple out there help others fight this unwanted scam....too many and too much already....
Thanks for the heads up, my mom asks me about these all the time.
This sort of stuff has been going on forever.
Bulk mailers, chain letter forwarders, and now in this technological age - Spammers - send em out.
People keep responding.
So they send more out.
You won't get rid of this kind of stuff until the part of the brain that handles the desire of people to get something for nothing is surgically removed.
No matter how much advice you give people to stay away, there's always that little, niggling voice in their heads saying . . .
"I know, but maybe THIS one is legitimate . . . ."
And the one in maybe one million who responds makes it all worthwile for the spammers. (@ Rajan - I feel for you! )
And results in clogged up mailboxes for the rest of us.
Great hub Jimmy. But it appears that they forgot to ask you for your bank account number so they could deposit your winnings. LOL Chuck
Nice expose. These, unfortunately, run rampant on the net. Thanks.
These spammers and Nigeria-billioinnaire dreams thugs cheats are in plenty on net for a few hundred dollars... good to expose them
Hey thanks for the hub....It is this type of scam that runs rampant across the internet. Which makes some legitimate opportunities seem too good to be true...Two years in internet and network marketing has yielded many a scam just like this into my inbox...the first thing that I would urge you to do is delete any email with a lottery or winnings claim....I usually just hit reply and then get the confirmation that the email address is invalid...Doing what I do...I nail every single spammer out there to a tree....People hate me for that but I want to keep things legitimate for those of us doing business online..Thanks again for the hub.
Believe me, the lure of money blinds everything and people like me have fallen for it . I ended up spending about 41,000/- and ended up getting nothing . Please don't fall into the same trap .
come on u cant fall for this
