Another Lottery Scam

I am quite used to receiving e-mails saying I have won a prize in some lottery or other but today I received one with a new variation. This one pretends to be from our very own National Lottery and says that they have been running extra draws using random e-mail addresses . They then say that to claim your prize you have to contact an office in Thailand . Which is a bit of a give-away realy because the e-mail carries
a Liverpool address on it's header. they even give a link that takes you to the proper UK Lottery web-site. I checked with National Lottery and of course it is a scam . They are trying to get this closed down but it will be difficult.
