Immediately after payment of charges and completion of form, we'll send your package. It should be pejorative in taught that payment should be completed first afterwhich we'll pay your Insurance and Notarization fee before Delivery.

This firm is sentient of British Taxes which must be cleared after confirmation of your payment, Air Freight Courier & Diplomatic Company is giving you guarantee that such parcel like yours takes such procedures.

We assume all responsibilities incase of any eventualities. Air Freight Courier & Diplomatic Company do not allow Cash on delivery(C.O.D) as all payment must be made in this office before shipment can commence.

This company declined reverse payment for these charges, stating that it is against their professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the check to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the check since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing. With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out.

Be informed that the winning cheque can only be cleared by you with the provision of your I.D (Driving license/passport). Air Freight Courier & Diplomatic Company do not have the authority to cash your check or send your funds via bank-to-bank account. Please take note.

I hope all of this is clearly understood? As soon as I get your response including your completed Delivery Information Request Form I'll give you payment instruction. Send a copy of your Driving license or Passport via express mail or as an attachment via e-mail or Fax.

Have your ID card in hand. This will be required by the delivery officer on arrival in your country before handing you your Winning Package. Hope you understand this email and its contents. Please feel free to contact me for any queries/clarification(s).

Confirm your Documents via TeleFax. Call +[protected] dial PIN: 7006 Wait for the option to choose 1 or 2. Dial 1 to confirm your document ready for pick up.

Send your response to indicate your collection within the next 24hrs, because you only have 10 working days to claim this check BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED TIME BEFORE FUNDS LIQUIDATION 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 as informed from your Lottery Promoter.

Oh my Gosh! I received the same email days ago and responded with very few information..Now that i have contacted them through email they were also telling me the procedures that i should follow to claim the said lottery. However, i was amazed to find out the amount of the courier procedure amounting to 84, 000Php, so i decided to find a way to verify this thru mail and fortunate enough to be directed to this page.

Mr. Richard Adams is the name of the Fudiciary Officer indicated in the email (fraud, scam lottery winning). Please block this email add so it will not do anymore damage to other people.

I only hope that the UK Government would do something about this, because its really alarming.

Thanks!

Dear Valued Customer,

Good day to you. Your Package was sent here by the UK National Lottery Board. Below is a copy of your parcel delivery invoice from our dispatch department. You are expected to read through it and get back to us.

Included in your parcel is 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 their National Lottery along side your cheque. This means that you have been officially cleared for payment by the Verifications Dept. at the headquarters of the UK National Lottery.

Note that your parcel is bonded and protected by a hardcover insurance policy, which makes it impossible to make any deduction before it is remitted to you. This means that our courier charges cannot be deducted from the prize. This is in accordance with section(13)1n of the National Gambling Act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3rd July 1996 by the Constitutional Assembly, this is to protect winners and to avoid misappropriation of funds.

Dear everyone who received those emails

In my opinion, it's all fake and trying to get your money.
Here is the information from the formal and real UK National Lottery website
(taken from http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/information.do?info=commonscams)

Security Information

Fraudulent (Scam) Emails – what to do first

Lottery scam (fraudulent) emails are increasing at an alarming rate.

Scam emails try to persuade the email receiver to submit personal information or to part with money as an up front payment in order to release a winning lottery prize.

As a general rule, if you have not purchased a ticket for the UK National Lottery, you won’t have won a prize, and you should treat the email with absolute caution.

The following points are some things to look for in order to identify a fraudulent email:

* If the email says ‘Winning Notification’ or ‘Lottery Sweep Stake’ in the text, the email you’ve received is not from UK National Lottery;
* We don’t tell players how much they've won in an email; and
* We don’t ask for any Player information like name, address or bank details on an email.

There is no need to contact us if you have received a lottery related scam (fraudulent) email.

As we are constantly looking to improve our communication with our players, we have now changed all our email addresses to the following:

* admin@national-lottery.co.uk
* player@national-lottery.co.uk
* play@national-lottery.co.uk
* help@national-lottery.co.uk
* play@play.national-lottery.co.uk

We will now use only these addresses to send you all important communication such as purchase confirmations and rollover alerts.

To ensure your National Lottery emails reach you please add us to your Address Book or Safe Senders' List. Find out how to add us to your Address Book.
Common Lottery Scams - Further assistance:

The National Lottery website is safe and secure. Nevertheless, you need to be on your guard against Internet fraudsters. Below are details of some of the more common fraudulent activities:
Email scams that claim you have won a Lottery prize

These scams work in two ways:

Method 1: Persuade the victim to part with personal information to allow the scammers to carry out Identity Theft.

Method 2: Persuade the victim to part with money as an up front payment in order to release a winning Lottery prize which does not exist.

Signs of a fraudulent email:

* There may be a sense of urgency, eg ‘respond within X days or your Account will be closed’
* There may be embedded links (links within the body of the email) that look legitimate because they contain all or part of a real company’s name. These links may take you to spoof sites which ask you to update personal information, or may download key-logging software onto your PC
* Spoof websites can be difficult to spot. To make sure you’re on our site, type www.national-lottery.co.uk into your browser and see if you arrive at the same place

Spoof websites (known as ‘phishing’)

Fraudsters create false or ‘spoof’ websites that look very real, with the aim of persuading users to enter personal information such as passwords and memorable information. They will then re-use this information to access your Account. Customers get emails claiming to be from official websites asking them to click on a link within the email to the ‘spoof’ site.

The National Lottery would never ask you to email us with confidential information.

In order to protect yourself from such scams, we advise the following:

* Don’t click on links in unsolicited emails
* Never send any up-front fees required in order to ‘claim your prize’
* Never disclose personal information or financial information via email or a ‘claims’ or ‘verification’ form
* If you wish to visit a particular website, always key in the address directly rather than using an embedded link
* Always remember, where you wish to discuss your Account with us, we will always verify your identity by asking specific security questions disclosed to us when you set up your Account. Our Interactive Customer Care team do not have access to your full password

Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

For details of other websites that carry useful information on Internet security and current scams, see our useful websites page.

Do not believe them... trust me
stop all contact and never contact again

Sincerely,

V
