I got one from the Spanish lottery yesterday mailed from Europe. I live 25 metres from the lcoal police station so I dropped it in.

They take that stuff quite seriously now and faxed it off to someone who can chase up the Spanish addresses etc.

Actually the only people that know the address that it was sent to are adult companies.

If you got one maybe some adult site sold the list?

No it started off with people doing it via snail mail, seems as though they have realised that people now know about the email scam.

The documents I got through today I think would fool an unsuspecting person.

They werent asking for money but were trying to get my personnal bank details etc.

Most people would probably think that there was no harm in handing over those details as it wasnt a credit card number etc.

They even had phone lines set up that were answered by the lottery in Spanish, head quarters address etc.

nope..the only ones I get in the actual mail are those ones trying to get you to renew your domains with a company that they aren't registered with but even those have died down
