If you haven't played a lotto then I would say it is some kind of fraud. If they ask you to call them, especially if they charge a premium rate then I would definitely think it is a fraud.

It is a scam.\nYou cannot have an international lottery as the gambleing laws differ in every country.\nThe scammers say it is "International" so as to cover every country.\nLotterys work like this:\n1)10,000 people pay 1 dollar/euro/pound/yen....etc\nThe lottery company now has 10,000\n\n2) the lottery company holds a draw and gives out 7,000 in winnings (and keeps the profit 3,000)\n\nScams work like this:\n-1)nobody pays money (there is no money to win)\n\n0)a scammer sends out 10,000 spam emails to tell people they have won a lottery they havn't entered.(they pretend they work for real lottery websites)\n\n2)The Scammer asks for your Personal details (be prepared! your inbox is going to be full of emails asking for you personally...and dont get me started on what they are gonna do with your Bank details!)\n\n3)The scammer tells you that you have to pay fees before you can accept the "winnings" (and NO,you cant pay out of the winnings! they dont exist!....silly maga)\n\n4)The scammer manages to con 3 people out of 1000 and gives all his profits to a charity for orphaned goats (he dosn't really...he keeps it ;) )\n\n5)Your inbox gets more mails than help@microsoft.com\nEverything from "You have won anotther sooperdooperlottry" to "CHAN U B A NEXT OF KIN" to "Please join our company,cash our checks,send us the money until your bank realises you are laundering money for us?)\n\nThe moral of the story is...If it sounds too good to be true... It probably is\nSource(s):\n\nwww.fraudwatchers.org\nI spoke to Bill Gates lastnight and he knows nothing about it...honest...I did!

Delete it please....It's a big scam.    The UK lottery do not have details of anyone's email address, you purchase a ticket either in a shop or online.   If you haven't entered for the UK lottery, then there's no way you could have won.    Those who reply to this scam, end up with an empty bank account - so please do not respond to them and delete any other future emails from these scammers.

if they are harrassing you then it is almost certainly a scam-if you have won a holiday the organisers will have informed you of this and may contact you at some other time (arranged at your convenience) to make the neccessary arrangements to collect your prize. they will certainly not harrass you. so beware.

Scam.... Same as email scams... If you didn't enter a lotto you can't win anything. It's that simple.

It could very well be a scam, if it is genuine then they won't ask you for any money, and they will have an address you can write to. Have you entered a Euromillion lottery? If you haven't then be very very very cautious!!!

That is a scam.\n\nThere is a National Lottery in the UK but you have to have a physical paper ticket and turn up in person with the ticket to collect your winnings.\n\nhttp://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/promotions/promotions.do?promo=commonscams\nThis type of scam is very common. Do no give them any details. Jsut delete the e-mail and ignore it.

I dont think so.\nhttp://www.national-lottery.co.uk/\n\nWe have had several infamous incidents of criminals winning the lottery. I believe the Government was considering changing the law to prevent criminal in jail from profiting but not sure if this ever happened.

I am sorry to advise you it is a scam. Ask yourself. Did you buy a ticket, do you have a proof that you have a ticket with winning number? When did you go to South Africa to buy a ticket?? And they would have called you.\n\nIf you just got an email.. and they write back for more info from you.. you know you on a way to be robbed. DO NOT GIVE ANY DETAILS> No one knows who wins a LOTTO till the person with a ticket goes to the LOTTO themselves.
