住在加拿大卑诗内陆小镇特瑞斯(Terrace)的厄博(Robert Erb)，在2012年成为2500万元乐透得主，目前有诈骗电邮，是假冒厄博的名号在散播，其实冒充厄博行骗已非新鲜事，去年出现过一阵平静下来后，最近又死灰复燃。
厄博获得大奖后，把将近800万元的奖金与许多人士分享，他以乐于助人闻名，目前也天天有人向其要钱寻求帮助，不过，最近有民众收到中大奖的电邮，表示是厄博要发放奖金，要民众回覆个人资讯。
对此，厄博的妻子表示，厄博目前不再对个人提供金钱资助，但依旧对团体提供协助，像是购买保暖衣物等。温市警方则表示，这种诈骗电邮只是更换内容、但仍旧是老套的诈骗方式，「如从未参加抽奖，就一定不会中奖;如宣称中奖，但对方要求汇款支付费用，那麽一定也是诈骗活动」。
类似诈骗邮件如下：
