It is true that Dave and Angela Dawes won the lottery and are giving millions to friends and whoever they deem deserves it. But how did I know this email is a SCAM?
1. Why in the world will they pick me?
2. Search online. A quick search on “Dave and Angela Dawes cash donation” returned several results, most of which are saying that they received a similar email.
3. The Undisclosed recipeints
4. The email address of the person who sent it and the person who you should send your response is different.
REMINDER: DO NOT REPLY to these types of emails!
