total scam- avoid like the plague!

It's another Advance Fee fraud. There are dozens of 'em operating at any one time, primarily in hope of getting money out of you, but also in hope of gleaning enough information about you that ID theft can be subsequently attempted.

This one's particularly hilarious because the address you've been given is that of a Chelmsford estate agent -- I mean, I know times are 'ard in the EA world, but I didn't think the house price crash was forcing 'em into sub-letting their office space to half-wit scammers.

Obviously, no authentic Lottery enterprise trades from a free email address like yahoo or googlemail or hotmail. What's wonderful about the email address you've received is that this great UK online Lottery not only admits to operating from a free email address, it lets you know it's in, er, Hong Kong.

Just ignore the message. It may once have seemed worth bothering about stuff like this and taking some action, but nowadays, you've better things to do with your life and your time. Like as not you've wound up with a template that has long done the rounds amongst illiterate scammers in places as far apart as China, Romania, and Nigeria.
