International award for tourism real mail scam

Post by Darko Kontin »

I received a real email in my mailbox the the other day.

It is for 37th international award for tourist, hotel & catering industry in Madrid on 18th January.

In short it says that we are the winner of 2012 contests for best everything :) and if would come to claim the reward.

The thing that tipped them of was the attendance fee of 4000 € which I must pay before arriving that will cover my staying and transportation fees in Madrid.

Anyone else received such a letter?

It is interesting how much work they done with mine. I got brochures, photos from previous events like this one and evan a signed letter from some Arsenio Pardo Rodriguez.

I see how some renters would get scammed by this much effort.
