This is a kind of fake play. Unless and until you buy any e-lottery to play such kind of games, nowhere your email or your phone number will be selected in the Lottery. After submitting all the documents, you will be asked to come down to their Local Office in that country or you will be asked to pay some amount for which one of their persons will be looking after the matter on behalf of you. But remember nothing is going to happen. So dont fall into the soup.
Bye.

This email (like many others here) is, without doubt, a scam. They have one purpose and that is to get you to pay upfront fees in order to release your supposed win. As there is no money waiting for you, they end up pocketing the cash you send.

In a recent post on my blog, in response to a typical lottery scam email, I have published some pointers to help people recognise a bogus lottery email - http://psa.rssorange.com/2008/03/24/congratulations-you-are-a-winner-lottery-email-scam/rssorange/

If nothing else, I would suggest that if you receive any type of email that promises huge amounts of money, be it lottery, inheritance etc, that you put the subject line of the email in to a search engine and see what others are saying about it. More often than not, you will find that many websites / blogs have published information in regard to the said scam as a warning to others.

did i have awon on your yahoo promotin lottery no 220949...uk

I received the same email above about winning the uk lottery.How do I stop them from sending me anymore emails. And what will happen considering that I gave them the requested information. I hope I haven't jeopardized myself or my family. They have all my information. I knew it seemed to good to be true, but I figured it was worth a try since I kept getting that email in my inbox. It wasn't until today I am noticing that many people are getting caught up in this UK fraud and I am gald I didn't provide my personal banking information or social security #. They just know my name, address and contact information. Which still makes me concern. But I thank you for this website which advises people like me to get a second opinion. Thanks.

Hi,

In my view, dont pay a penny and report to police and launch a F.I.R in IT Act. Its 99% a case of fraud so I suggest don't pay any more amount..and give the number and details to police people..

We normally get these types of mails. You can ask the lottery people to send you the lottery amount after deducting the extra charges..normally this is what happens in case of lottery.

Its my view..

warm regards
vickram
