El tocomocho o timo de la loteria ... en Internet

Uno de los timos clásicos es el del "tocomocho" consistente en que el timador aborda al primo para comunicarle que le ha tocado la loteria pero que por algún motivo (viaje, etc.) no puede cobrarlo, pero que a cambio de una suma de dinero le cede la totalidad del premio.

La versión en Internet cambia un poco, nos llega un correo indicándonos que nos ha tocado un premio de un sorteo de  lotería del cual desconocemos su existencia (Por ejemplo el sorteo del mundial de futbol de sudáfrica) y del que además no tenemos participaciones, y nos piden que anticipemos una cantidad insignificante para poder cobrar la totalidad del premio.

Veamos un ejemplo:
