Attention: shoaib mehmood,

You are welcome to chase courier ltd an affiliate of the british national lottery.
We are pleased to be at your service. chase courier ltd is regulated and stipulated by the finacial service authority (fsa), the finacial institutions that govern all finacial activities in the united kingdom.

This office has been notified by the british national lottery of the amount won with their promo board in the amount of £753, 437.00 gbp=$1, 407, 917.22 usd. this means that you have been officially cleared for payment by the verifications dept at the headquarters of the british national lottery.

The original copy of your winning certificate, together with a covering document (money laundering protection and letter of affidavit for claims) from the british government stating that the money was obtained legally through the british national lottery will be sent to you as soon as you meet with any of the option selected.

You can now begin the final step of the claims process, which is the transferring of your cash prize to you. with regards to this, there are three options open to you, you are required to select the most convenient of the three and get back us.

Therefore you are to notify us when you are ready to make payment so that we can furnish you with the details of payment.

The options, together with their associated conditions are presented below. please note that payment should be made before we can deliver your winnings to you in your country.

option one

express delivery. (1 days)
mailing&n bsp...£380.00
Insurance...£120.00
Vat (5%)... £80.75

The charges are a little bit high because of the hardcover insurance policy we have undertaken incase of loss, damage or theft of your highly sensitive document and funds. we assume all responsibilities incase of any eventualities and we don't deliver on cash on delivery (c. o. d) because we don't accept cash.

Please respond to this email by making a selection from the three options above. also attach a scanned copy of either your driver's licence, international passport (photo page) or any other legally identifying document.

Send your response to indicate your option within the next 24hrs, because you only have 10 working days to claim this cheque and after this period, your cash prize will be deemed to have been forfeited by you and will be reused in the drawings of the next edition of the promo.

Once again, congratulations

These emails are all scams.

1) It is illegal for a US citizen to participate in a foreign lottery
2) did you go and buy a ticket for this lottery, if so do the numbers match the physical ticket you purchased?

Simple common sense defenses will protect you from scams like this.

Scamer scaming u name

I have recieved an email similar to all of the above emails from british national headquarters online promo programme, held on the 26th october 2008. the email said that I have won some money, is it true that I have won or have I being scamed?

I will highly appreciate your responce toward my email, cause I feel lucky.

L wanna learn. how l can get this money?

Hi,
My question is whether the authorities concerned in the countries concerned (uk, ireland etc) cannot take any legal action to both prevent such scams or to legally tackle those induldged in these scams?
It may be true that innocent people succumb to the temptations and fall prey but it is important in the interest of the public to curb such activities with public support.
Also, wish to know how one could identify the scams and frauds from the genuine organizations whose identities are being fraudulently used?
What are the consequences the victims may face having disclosed their personal details? can one keep using the email addresses in question without any adverse technical or any other consequences?
Please educate and advice. thanks.

PLEASE READ

I have no doubt this is a scam and even if it isn't- its too big a chance to send my details to somebody before first doing a back check, so there was no way i was going to send my personal details over the internet to some email address that didn't even look official.

Whenever you get an email from somebody or a site you haven't even registered with sends you an email saying you won something big, stop take a deep breath and think this is TOO good to be true, this is why (al gore) invented the internet, always double check these thing before sending sensitive details over the internet its data safety 1.0.1, confirming over the phone is pointless because they can have a line set up directly for those calls with one of them ready to answer with the details to make you believe you won.

And if what i have read above is correct and they say you are required to pay in advance for a delivery of that large amount then blah would come to mind, ain't no company would ever charge £600+ for a delivery for a cheque. what? are they sending it in a locked combination briefcase with armed guards! hell no its TNT and i used to work for them ain't no cheque in there history has ever been delivered for 3 digit amount.

plus for something this big all costs would be incurred to the company sending the cheque since they would have a corporate account set up, they simply give there account number and its billed automatically to there account if not a c/c payment is required, TNT will not take a parcel to an address in the possibility that the receiver would pay them, they would have done a job with no obligations to the receiver to pay they can just refuse to accept the parcel, those who have not sent there details dont bother your safe, those who did send there details over blindly well, 3 words " possible identity fraud ". BUT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE CONFIRMATION.

I just received these email too, so means that is not real, , This people need to be in prision., i HAve just send information of my name, address, age, occupation and my email.. this is not fear.

Thanks for your comment i was near to call them.

I have received an email that I have won a lottery - Ref: UK/940X2/68, ticket no.[protected] Serial No.5388/02. Can you plese confirm the correctness. Thank you for your time.

Below is the associated conditions.
Account Opening and On-line Swift Transfer Option:
In this option you will be given the proper guidelines on how you will directly and personally transfer your winning funds in liquid cash into any bank account you nominate through the Societe Generale Bank e-banking services.
But for this to be done, first your winning cheque in our custody have to be converted into liquid cash in the UK Cheque Clearing house because we (Societe Generale Bank Plc ) are allowed by the UK banking laws and policies to proceed with the swift transfer process of the winnings to you while the funds is still in cheque form.
And due to the fact that your winning cheque was issued in your name by the Irish National Lottery, which makes it legally impossible for any ordinary third party or entity to cash your cheque on your behalf in the UK Cheque Clearing house, you will then have to open and activate an account with this bank with an opening balance/initial deposit of £660 pounds sterlings before we can officially and legally possess the legal right as your bank to cash your winning cheque on your behalf in the UK cheque clearing house(UKCCH).
This is in regulation to the UK Banking laws and polices laid down by the Bank of England and the FSA(Financial Services Authority) which clearly states that for any UK registered bank to have the legal right to cash a certified bank cheque on behalf of the bearer(owner of cheque or payee), the owner of the cheque must have an activated account with the bank that will present the cheque for liquidation in the UK cheque clearing house(UKCCH).
Alternative Option (2) "Courier Check Transfer Option":
In this option, your certified winning cheque along with the legal documents backing your winnings will be delivered to your address that you will provide within 72 hours, we will have to use international licensed DHL Courier Company to deliver your winnings parcel to your address. Note that in this option, your winning parcel can not be delivered to P.O.Box addresses or street corners but to your residence because the DHL delivery officers in charge of the delivery must have to sight your personal valid identification and other required documentations to confirm your legal identity before they will hand over your winning package to you in person.

Below are the mandatory charges associated with the Courier Check Transfer Option via DHL that you are required to pay if you prefer this Courier Check Transfer Option.
