Any ideas/help/info would be appreciated thanks

Will you be having a party to celebrate your twin unexpected wins from lotteries you have never entered?

That you even have to question the validity of these email is the reason these scams work.
All it takes is some gullible numpty and before you can say "£3,000 processing fee" you have been conned.

Remember if you did not enter you cannot win it. If you want to win something get yourself to the comps board on here, do not respond to lotteries you have not entered.

Its people like the OP that make people set these things up. You have to enter something before you can win. if you aint entered anything then its not going to be genuine,
do what the other 95% of internet users do and just delete it and wait for the next one and the next and the next . . .

Thanks to all the replies but if you read my posts you will have read that I DO NOT REPLY TO ANY MAIL WHERE I DON'T KNOW THE SENDER and I have NEVER replied to any of these so called winning letters either, it was just that my friend had not received them (and we normally get the same junk) and I was 99% sure anyway that they were scams.And I for one would never ever send any money of to process my so called winnings, but thaks to all who have shown concern and have taken time to reply.
And as for the party well I had one with the bank charges I won back from Nationwide lol.
P.S. My daughter was selling something on E-Bay and the cost was only £245 but a buyer said that theywanted it and would send her a cheque for £2000 and would she take out the £245 for the item and then give the courier that was coming to pick the item up the remaining£1755. i stepped in and sent an e-mail back saying that my daughter would not do this but if she sent two cheques one for the item and the other for the courier then we would give the courier the cheque when they picke d the item up. The buyer was ADAMANT that my daughter accepted the first offer of £2000, and we never did nor did we hear from them again but their e-mail was passed onto our local police. So that is another type of scam that folk fall for (but not us)

Downside with e-mail, it costs very little to send for the scammers.

If you have a list of 10,000 live e-mail addresses (i bet the scammers have much bigger lists) you only need one or two people to be taken in to make it pay.

Oh by the way for a 'processing fee' you all just won 'li0nheads lotto'.......:):)
