    Spam. Delete it.

    This is a scam! Somebody is trying to verify your e-mail address so it can be sold to spammers, or they are trying to get your bank account info so you can be ripped off later! Report such a mail to:
    Federal Trade Commission
    Treasury Department

    If it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t!

    This question is asked constantly, you do not win lotteries without buying tickets. Now ask yourself, did I buy a ticket?

  9. Dad - May 10th, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    Spam. Don’t reply or send ANYONE any of your details

  13. alam_tabrez2006 - May 18th, 2009 at 7:05 am

    absolutely false

  14. Fifi L'amour - May 20th, 2009 at 8:14 am

    It is very VERY false

    No one should ever believe emails like this.

    For a start, the company’s telephone number is a mobile.
    (Take away the +44 and substitute 0) The number begins 07045 which means it is a premium rate mobile or personal number. Do not ring it.

    They have given a Coventry postcode then followed it with the word London. This is not a real address.
    Also, AW Couriers are based in Leeds.

    Yahoo and MSN (Microsoft Network) are competitors – why would they work together to do a lottery?

    The legislation mentioned in the text (gambling act 1993) is actually South African legislation, not UK or US.

    The grammar and spelling in the text is awful. This is not something that would be released by a reputable company.

    This is a well known scam and MUST be avoided at all costs.

    I think this is false!!

    The way some of this is typed does not look like the way Britain’s do it. Also the phraseology of some of the words in the sentences sounds decidedly foreign even pigeon English!
    I wouldn’t touch this with a barge pole.

    This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them….
    Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this text and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of messages. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing.
