Did spam just get meta?
This spam email actually makes it that it’s sent from two lottery winners in Canada, and includes links to local news reports to back up the story.
Ironically enough the real Allen and Violet Large make reference in those articles to scammers taking an interest in them since the lottery win, something the very spam email makes reference to.

Dear ,
Compliments
My name is Allen Large and my wife is Violet Large, we are the winner of Lotto 6-49 win http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia/story/2010/07/22/truro-lotto-winners.html
http://gimundo.com/news/article/lottery-winners-allen-and-violet-large-give-11-million-fortune-to-charity/
We have decided to use all the money to support the less privilege and physical challange on a charitable ground not because my wife is facing a critical health chalange as motiveless people spread such a clumsy propaganda,this has been our mind set, our culture to become symbol of love which affects positively and reaches the lives of those who are under such condition like i mentioned above.
We love each other and there is no greater we ever felt for each other better than this, ofcourse we are old what still remain of us rather than this offer we are giving out to the world.
We are under great pressure coming from family, friends,lawyers, cooperate bodies and Government since we made this proposition public, it is wise and early enough we realized that this people are unscrupulous with ulterior motives standing against our best intent towards allocating this fund to the right people and organisations. This called for our personal attention , we decided to make a personal research for selfless and competent personality .
Can we trust you ?
This money would be alloted not to one organization or people , we have decided to extend our arms to other part of the world (countries) , this is why we needed someone who is anonymous and not connected to this set of people that has been bugging our life with corrupt intention.
We are anticipating your reply in order to know our stance with you.
Regards,
Mr. Mrs. Alen Large.
