Ok, so i'm not stupid, and i don't for one minute think that this is real - but I haven't seen an Aussie one before, and also quite strangely, it's not asking for bank details.

Just got it in my Yahoo mail.

a lovely variation of the nigeria 419 scam... I repeat, if you have not entered a lottery, paid for it, bought an entry whatever you want to call it, you are not likely to have won...

I love it though how many australians have you met called DR. emman zuma (M.D)??? they are so damn predictable it is shocking..

so if I was you, I would NOT respond, delete the email and not go planning your next diving holiday to the maldives in pure luxery on the back of this

sorry

[Sean]

Go on email them back and see where it goes. Dare you but make up a name and address

[Pro Dive Europe]

Not too bad, the ACL is run from Syndey and not Melbourne. Also the phone number should be +612.

Lets see we have an Austrialian lottery paying out in US dollars, european office in Holland and banch office in SA.

Blimey and people have to ask if it's a scam.

Come on Helen, have you had a sleep this afternoon

[thewisestfish]
