Mr Ban Ki-moon

Can you spot the obvious signs that this is a scam? It claims to come from Switzerland and then tells you to contact someone in Nigeria. Why would the UN hold a random email draw? And if you really had won a prize, why would the organisation need to know your gender, marital status or occupation?

It's all a scam. Delete the email and don't reply. If you do reply, the scammer will start asking you for money.
