This phony U.K. lottery spam

http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z948355688z7f00015eb266672cf1d7d5c584e4cc54z

returned a Yahoo URL link that was referenced in the SpamCop report as
"previously appealed".

This required me to look at the spam and it appears the Yahoo! mail
address is a customer-service address possibly associated with a real
U.K. lottery operation.

Does anyone know enough about the U.K. lottery ops to say whether this
e-mail address should be LARTed?

I just noticed a posting from Berny about a new trend toward IB links
being deliberately included by spammers.  Would this be an example?

Interestingly, I found two other e-mail addresses in the spambody at
katamail.com and myway.com, which looked like they could be spammer
contacts, which were not picked out by the parser.


TIA,
Michael
