Attn:  Lucky Winner,

We are pleased to inform you that one of the best things that can happen to any Internet user is to be rewarded for spending money and time on the Internet. You may not have known that over one hundred billion people daily surf the Internet on regular basis for one reason or other. These Internet users including yourself, pay access fees to various Internet Service Providers (ISP) all over the word who in turn remit surplus funds to the numerous World Wide Internet Technology Companies (WWITC) for the development and advancement of Global Information Technology.

So much money is generated from people like you all over the World for using the Information Superhighway (the Internet) without your being aware the enormous sum that go to the stake holders (WWITC). Without your patronage, this would not have been possible. After we conducted a research on the issue, we concluded that Internet users should be compensated. As a result, we embarked on a worldwide lottery promotion with a sophisticated automated database to randomly select E-mail accounts that frequently surf the Internet. Consequent upon this, your E-mail address was picked for Category “A” Winners.

After the automated computer ballot, your E-mail address emerged as a winner in the category “A” with the following numbers attached
Ref Number:  EH 9590 OG 0612,
Batch Number: 563881545-ES/2009
You and other category A winners are therefore to receive a cash prize of $2,500,000.00 (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from the total payout of One Billion US Dollars earmarked in the lottery for category A winners. Your prize award has been insured with your E-mail address, which qualified you for the lottery and will be transferred to you upon meeting our requirements, statutory obligations, verifications, validations and satisfactory proof of E-mail
address ownership.

To file in for the processing of your winning cash prize, you are advised to contact our certified

You are to keep all lotto information confidential, especially your reference numbers and the password of your E-mail address.

Subreseller signup scam

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Whatever you promote online, you get scam signups.

I decided to get sub resellers since I do not have time to provide customer support, but again I am getting scam sign ups.

They are signing up for hosting packages and not even providing a proper domain, they are just using the default domain name.

Addition of Linux Hosting (US) Service for yourdomain.com for 6 months, with Plan A

Web hosting and domain names attracts a lot of scammers.
