They want  you to send them money so they can send you what they say you won. FAKE don't buy into it.

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.

Unless you personally bought a ticket and were sent something showing that those numbers won, then for the Love of God, delete the email and block the sender.\n\nYou are being scammed.

It is a scam.\nYou cannot have an international lottery as the gambling laws differ in every country.\nThe scammers say it is "International" so as to cover every country.\nIf you want to check a email you think might be a scam go to www.scamomatic.com\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

I have not heard of them until I received a letter on Friday.  I took the check to my bank manager to confirm my suspicion that this is a scam.  In order to win a lottery, you first have to play.  Ask yourself...how did they get your address, why didn't it come certified (especially with a check, etc.) The bank manager told me that they can get your bank account number from you endorse the check to deposit it.

Be very careful with this type of thing.  In fact, run the other direction.  Hit your delete button first.\n\nIt has been my experience that these types of "lotteries" or "lottery winning numbers" are just a con or scam!\n\nDon't give them any of your personal information, and DON'T send them ANY money!

It is a scam / hoax / BS.\n\nThe lottery will not contact you if you win...you have to have the winning ticket in your hand and take yourself to the lotto outlet and have it scanned.\n\nIf you have any doubts...go to the website below and look up your scam-mail!

First of all did you even enter this Lottery?? If not then its a scam if you answer it the next thing they will want your bank account details so they can transfer the so called winnings into your bank But the only that will happen is they will steal all the money from your account. Don't even answer the letter cause that will confirm your details and the scammers can do many fraudlent things with YOUR identity.\nP S its proberly a Nigerian money transfer scam

It's a scam I get e-mails all the time stating I won the Nigerian lottery, The Canadian lottery etc.. Do not repeat do not give them you company's foreign account number they will wipe that account out. If you won a lottery you don't need to send any money to collect the winnings the tax money will be taken out of the winnings.
