It's not from Nigeria!

Please contact your claims agent immediately,to begin your claims

process;

MR. TREVOR McCARTHY,
CLAIMS DEPT. MANAGER,
COMET FINANCE & INSURANCE LTD.
FAX: +27 115076316

That is a phone number in Jo'burg, South Africa.

THE LOTTERY COORDINATOR,
EGOLI LOTTERY SA.
#7 LE-ROUX AVE,
ALBERTON, JHB.
SOUTH AFRICA.
Fax: +27826401382

And that is a cellphone number served up by Vodacom in
South Africa.

This is interesting because most of these fake lottery
winnings have directed people to call a cellphone in
the Netherlands. Now, they have shifted to South Africa,
a country that was once a Dutch colony and where many people
still speak a Dutch dialect called Afrikaans.

The South African Police Service has a page
http://www.saps.gov.za/faq/faq4.htm where you can report this.

By the way, it only took me about 5 minutes to identify
the phone numbers and find the SAPS info using Google.
