I got this email this morning:
 
MICRO LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL VIJZELSTRAAT 56, 1017 HD, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS. FILE REFERENCE NO:ABU2005-001-MLI BATCH: 1505/004NL TO WINNERS IN OUR PROGRAM We wish to congratulate you over your success in our computer balloting sweepstake held on 30th March 2006. This is a millennium scientific computer game in which email addresses were used. It is a promotional program aimed at encouraging internet users; therefore you do not need to buy ticket to enter for it. However, your email address was attached to ticket number 10CBG3471913; with serial number 19034 draw the lucky numbers 1-9-74-31, which eventually won the lottery in the first category of the draws. This entitled to a cash award of US$ 2, 500,000.00 (TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS). This is from total prize money of US$30,000,000.00 distributed to winners from 1st to 3rd categories. Note that this program was largely promoted and sponsored by a group of philanthropist, industrialists from the internet ware industry and some other big multinational firms who wish to be anonymous. To begin your claim, please contact the claims coordinator DR. STUART DIENEN Email address: [email protected] TEL : +31 649 304 472 Yours Faithfully, MRS. DENSIE DE HOLIDRIJK For: Micro Lottery Int'l
 
 
I googled Microlotteryinternational and came up with this site
 
 
 
I will report it to them, I clicked on one of the other links that had micro lettery internation in the address and its the exact same letter content
 
Anyway, just thought I'd put this up here, this "419" site has useful info and I will forward the email I got to the Dutch Police as they've recommended.
