    hello, i get winning lottery emails regularly and other emails from people who have had a close relative die and i am sole beneficiary!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i forward them straight to" fraudwatchinternational" for them to sort out, if you go on their website (just google fraudwatchinternational) you can sign up to receive fraud alert emails warning you of any emails that are doing the rounds and there are also lists of different emails that have been detected as fraud, hope this will eventually help to pin these people down and stop innocent people who fall for this kind of thing, being ripped off!!!:mad:

    I Started out with nothing.....still have most of it left:o
  • Have I missed something...?

    I "deal with them" by deleting them....I'm pretty unlikely to be winning a lottery I didn;t enter, and its unlikely that Camelot would contact me in that way anyway....
