Answer 1

It is a SCAM, there is no such lottery and don't EVER give anyone your personal details.  Also that telephone number is not a proper UK number it is a "find me anywhere in the world number"...see below for details...

"Scam phone numbers in the United Kingdom (+44):

Most "419" scams using +44 70xx numbers involve emails that are sent from Nigeria and other West African countries, not from the UK! If you see a +44 70xx number in a 419 scam email it usually means you're dealing with criminals based in Nigeria.

UK phone numbers starting with '70' are "Personal numbering" in the "Find me anywhere" range. Charges for calls to these numbers are not distance-dependent. They can cost as much as UKL 0.50 (USD 0.90) per minute to call and can forward the call to virtually any phone number in the world. Forwarding numbers can be set up for free and completely anonymously via websites such as uknumbers.com.

In most cases when you call one of these numbers the phone that starts ringing will actually be a mobile phone somewhere in Nigeria, as the UK number has been programmed to auto-forward calls to another number. These +44 70xx numbers are used as a redirector service to obscure the fact that the person taking the call is not actually based in Europe. The UK number is used to lend credibility to the scam."

Answer 3

Are you REALLY THAT *@!@#@! STUPID or are you just putting us on?  ANY email that asks for your bank account number is a scam. Sure, give them your info if you want your identity and all of your money stolen. Not to mention your credit completely ruined for at least the next seven years.

Answer 4

Scam,lol.
