I've had an e-mail through to say that I've won on the UK NATIONAL LOTTERY ONLINE SWEEPSTAKE. Has anyone had any dealings with them before? You just can't be too careful these days.
Thanks.

    This has got to be a wind up OP!!!

    Anyone who owns a pc connected to the internet has:

    "Won" the lottery 100s of times.
    Been offered 1000s of business opportunities.
    Been advised that people with $Millions need you to help them get money out of Nigeria.
    Have received 1000s of emails from "their bank" to enter their online banking details.
    Had emails from lonely pretty russian girls looking for love.

    etc etc etc

    To my knowledge I've not bought any! I have done loads of competitions - but I keep a book with all important info in so I know who I've joined, what user name and password I've used.

    They make it look so true, even using a nhs website.

    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    I've still got £300 million outstanding in Nigeria. I really want to help dethroned King Mutnutkatmanjulaboo but I can't afford the up-front £5,814 he wants. Can anyone lend me it?
