In 2008, Javid Abdullayev received an email from the London-based lawyer Carlos Sandoz that he won a campaign by Microsoft and won 250,000 pounds sterling, as well as the letter of guarantee that this amount will be transferred to his account one of the banks in London. Abdullayev transferred $5,845 on his account on the basis of the agreement, but has not received any information about the benefit or in the specified time.
In April and May 2008, resident of the Mushfigabad settlement of Baku Babak Ismaylov received a letter that he had won the Internet lottery conducted by a company based in Australia. Based on these letters, he transferred $4,000 to adjusted bank.
