Email Scammers Target World Cup 2010

Posted: 16 Jan 2009 06:00 AM PST

Are you tired of spammers Opromising that you’ll “love her long time”? Or that you’ve won the Irish lottery? Or the promise of a date with a fat 40 year old slob of a dude named Alexis you know you’ll never have? Me too. Spammers need another, more creative gimmick. Apparently they agree and have taken to sports largest arena, offering the chance to be robbed at gun point and/or murdered take in the world’s greatest sports spectacle - or something - in return for the keys to the safety deposit box.

The email is real tricky to decipher, being pimped by Bill Gate and all.

“The scam message even tells the recipient that they must keep the given ‘winning information’ confidential until they have received their prize as a precautionary measure to avoid double claiming and unwarranted abuse,” said Labiano.

The emails ask you to send confidential information such as name, address, telephone number and age to a ‘claim agent’.

Though the message seems to have been through a spell-checker, there are several clues that it isn’t a genuine email.

“This Lottery was promoted and sponsored by some multinational companies as including Bill Gate, and some other EU governments, to promote South Africans 2010 Worldcup Award [sic],” the email reads.

Wait, so you’re telling me someone from Africa is going to ask me for secure information and/or money? No fucking way!

Not really of course, it’s just a promotional facade. But it does look pretty convincing.


It’s only early 2009, but this is a nice little taster of the football (and advertising) extravaganza to come in 2010.

There might be a few problems to overcome before South Africa 2010 can be declared a resounding success, but enthusiasm definitely won’t be one of them.

World Cup 2010, Brought To You By “India’s Enron”

Posted: 08 Jan 2009 08:10 AM PST

World Cups traditionally (and by “traditionally,” I mean “ever since Sepp Blatter made them commercial whoreathons”) have six main sponsors (which is actually extremelely silly when you think about it).

But looks like Satyam (an Indian computer company) could be about to lose their spot among the hallowed six for 2010, after a massive massive accounting fraud.

Basically Satyam has been over-reporting its worth (aka “lying”) as “founder and chairman Ramalinga Raju admitted on Wednesday to inflating Satyam’s reported cash and bank balances by over 50 billion rupees ($1 billion)”, and earning Satyam the unwanted tag of “India’s Enron”.


Satyam was the first Indian company to sponsor the World Cup, and would obviously have benefited from the massive exposure of 2010. But sources are now suggesting that FIFA could be about to rethink the deal, to avoid being sponsored by a company in disrepute.

Which means a gap could be about to open up as a WC sponsor alongside Budweiser, McDonalds, Castrol, Continental and MTN. And I have an idea.

World Cup Blog should sponsor the World Cup. We might struggle to afford it (I have £1 and 22 pence on my desk here, plus one American quarter) but at least then they’d let us use the damn logo.
