I just won a million dollars!!! Yeah, RIGHT!!!

I just couldn't resist opening this one e-mail from my junk mail e-mail box.

Subject of the e-mail was: Your E-mail Was Picked. Ok, picked for what - I wonder (no - not really). Upon opening it, I was greeted with this information:

The Lottery S.A wishes to inform you that your E-mail account have won you a lump sum pay out of ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS,you are to contact our agent.

Mr.Curtis Holomisa.
Email:curtis_holomisa@yahoo.com.hk

Ok, so let's start with the original sender's address was: onlineunit11@gmail.com - CLUE #1: No professional/business e-mail address. CLUE #2: A lottery I've never heard of. CLUE #3: I must contact another individual with no professional/business e-mail address. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE PARTS OF THE SCAM ANATOMY. Make note of these!
I'm not sure what scares me the most - the fact that these stupid scammers are STILL trying this or that people actually FALL for this.
