Hello all

I am new to this board so I hope I am in the right place. My husband has had the mail below sent to him. It looks like a scam to me...

Euro Millions Winner (Your email has won you 1,228,704.80/G.B.P
> From: eurolottery@winners.co.uk
>
> Dear Sir/ Madam,
> We are please to announce to you that your email address has just won the
> first phase of our Online sweepstakes programme with draw number
> XXXXX and this has made you a winner of the sum of (1,228,704.80.00
> GBP)For claim please contact the claims officer after compiling the
> payment processing form below.

It then gives us a form with basic details to fill in. Do we ignore it? Anyone had this before or any experience?

Thank you!!

defo spam.

pretty much any comp where it doesnt come as address to a particular person can be straight away seen as spam (not all comps that do come to a named person are real either tho).

unless you've actually entered a euro lottery where you provide your email addy then this is a scam....otherwise i've passed up on about $58million in the last week alone!!

hope some real wins head your way soon, but just delete this one

Have loads of them, report to spam/ delete .
Anything that offers you millions and is not personally addressed to you and requests name age occupation etc etc is a scam in my opinion.Otherwise I'd be a billionaire the amount I get especially over the weekends/bank holidays.
Good luck with real wins.
