Finally after googling found this:rolleyes:


Please carefully review the following Scam-O-Matic results:

• An email address mentioned inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
• The following fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
  • "uk national lottery" (can only win this lottery if you bought a ticket)
• This email looks like a fake lottery scam.
  Consider the following facts about real lotteries:
  1. They do not notify winners by email.
  2. You can not win without first buying a lottery ticket.
  3. They do not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.
  4. They do not use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate with you.
  5. They do not tell you to call a mobile phone number.
  6. They do not tell you to keep your winnings secret.
  7. They will never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize!
  Any "courier service", "lawyer" or "bank" that a fake "lottery" may have introduced you to is also fake!
• The following phrases should put you on alert:
  • "fiduciary agent", "claim agent", "overseas claims unit":
    real lotteries do not use a "claim agent" / "fiduciary agent"
• This email lists free webmail addresses. Besides personal use for legitimate purposes, use of such addresses is also typical for scams. NOTE: Lotteries, banks, government agencies and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

lol....I am still really tired from those mammoth lists on the 30th on 31st so I will blame it on that!! Looks like you are right - I just panicked when I saw who the prize was coming from as I assumed it was going to involve FLYING!!

I really dont remember entering this though....must have been on automatic over the weekend as there were sooooo many!!

Thanks a lot for your help! x

I've just got dead excited as I thought all my competition entering had paid off, again it was 'you haven't won the main prize, however, you came a runner up in the top 30 out of 4000-wow!!'
Call the number blah de blah de blah'
Pay £29.50 per person to cover airport taxes/ in flight meals.
You need to call this number 0800 988 9900 and quote your reference number-if you call in the next 2 hours you'll also get £50 High Street vouchers!
Ringle dingle go the alarm bells., the company is CLC-Club La Costa a timeshare scam apparently--boohiss!
Am sooooooo peeved at being gullible-but thank goodness I checked on here and googled the telephone number first.
Has anyone actually gone ahead and been on one of these anyway??
