Barclay's Bank London Payment to Bhishmadev Kishabhai PAtel As lottery winning Award?

Question

This is per the letter received from Susan Smith

Answer 1

The lottery does not pay out to random people who have not purchased a ticket.  And Barclays bank would certainly not be involved.

But if you want to check it out, see the two links below for the official lottery site, and the one for Barclays.

Answer 2

This is a SCAM.  The below links confirm various email scams including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this message and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of messages.  Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete it and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
