scams
I was almost delighted to receive an email subject lottery winning notification with the official uk National Lottery logo heading and address
The National Lottery
P O Box 1010
Liverpool, L70 1NL
UNITED KINGDOM
Date:28-06-2006
telling me
WINNING NOTIFICATION
next some BS then that I
"drew the lucky numbers: 14-18-29-33-37-39-47(bonus no.),
which subsequently won you the lottery in the 2nd category i.e match 5 plus bonus.
You have therefore been approved to claim a total sum of £516,778.00(Five hundred and Sixteen thousand,seven hundred and seventy eight pounds sterling only) /$921,201(Nine hundred and twenty one thousand two hundred and one dollars only)in cash/check credited to file KTU/9023118308/03.This is from a total cash prize of £3,100,673.00 shared amongst
the first six (6) lucky winners in this category i.e Prize for six balls"
Naturally I googled for "uk national lottery scam" and checked out
