"National Lottery" e-mail ...

Don't be so negative...I've already won £3m with overseas lotteries and each time I send off the money I get the winning cash sent back within 24 hours.

The people sending me the emails are the nicest people in the world - they don't want a penny for themselves (well apart from the £5000 expenses and release fees, which I'm always happy to pay...coz after all I get £1m by return.

If you don't want yours, please send it to me.

I have had four different scam e-mails over the past week. Interestingly enough, I did notice that at least two of the four have had Yahoo e-mail return addresses mentioned on them, and I am receiving these via a Yahoo e-box.

I have recently discovered an e-mail address to forward these to which is
scams@fraudwatchinternational.com. I have now decided that anything I get is going to be forwarded to these people in the hope that they will add them to their investigations. They send out an automated response upon receipt of your forwarded e-mail.

Hope this helps.

I quite agree. I sent my ten grand off to "Samuel" in Lagos and pretty soon noticed my bank account was up to £190million. Terribly nice chaps they are - don't know what all the fuss is about.

the address and postcode are correct as i live around the corner and the national lottery do have a call center there but it does not have any signs advertising the fact that they are based there its just an anonymous grey building with a lot of security.here is the link to their offical site that is based at that address

the mail you recieved has got to be a scam so it might be an idea to report it to this branch aswell
