My comments to the above complaint.

I have attempted to write the complaint verbatim as it was sent to me. I have found several grammatical errors that have caused me to believe I am being scammed.

I was told I won the UK online Lottery and would be sent my check in the amount of 1.1 million us dollars, via of courier, but I have to pay for the courier in the amount of $836.50 us dollars to the courier company. All my investigating tells me this is an ongoing scam. However my e-mail contains a picture and names and addresses so why can't the authorities catch the persons doing this? My winnings include check for 1.1 million us dollars a laptop a lottery shirt and cap. What is the deal...
