scam forget about it
for one why would they have a yahoo address?Don't you just love saving!0 -
um yes, that's a scam.
apostrophes in its are not a good sign.0 -
thanks thats exactly what I thought, it must be idenity fraud.
Atleast I have sent my first question I won't be so nervous next time.
Thanks Again0 -
I think its a scam aswell. If you were a proper winner, then I'd doubt that they would ask you your income and how many hours you work. Fingers crossed for the real one though0
-
They want to know as much information as possible - useful for a bit of identity theft (surprised they didn't ask for your mother's maiden name). And a "UK Lottery" asking a UK citizen for State and Zipcode.... as sloppy as usual.0
-
Well known scam. Stick it into spam filter (though you'll get more variations). I delete at least one of these daily from my bulk folderIntegrity is a dying art!:p0
-
only thing for nothing in this life is in MSEWhat goes around - comes around
give lots and you will always recieve lots0 -
100% scam....Rent, Council Tax, Electricity, Gas, Telephone, TV License, Food, Clothing, VAT, Parking, Congestion Charge....... Thank you God you gave us MARTIN :money: :money: :money: !!!0
-
A Yahoo address :rotfl: gotta admire the sheer brass of some of these people. This is the actual UK Online, for anyone who's interested: https://www.ukonline.net/0
