Lottery Scams

It has come to our attention that fraudsters are sending out false win advices from Spain all over the world. 1. A letter, in bad English, claims that you have won a prize in the Spanish Christmas Lottery, organised by the Spanish Blind organisation ONCE. In fact, ONCE, while it holds regular lotteries, does not run the national Lottery. 2. An email to a Linux machine tells me that as a Windows user I have won a lot of money in another lottery. Be sure not to reply and certainly do not send money if you receive such a message!
