Question

Has anyone ever heard of a lottery commission the camelot group,located in aintree,liverpool?

Answer 1

There is a genuine U.K. lottery run by Camelot.  However you will have to purchase a ticket to be in with a chance of winning.  If you have received an unsolicited email stating you have won a lottery, then this is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them - (with links for your own country.) :

Unscrupulous thieves send emails to try and part innocent people from their 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 emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. If you receive such an email, I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Answer 5

Did you enter a lottery? Sounds like a 419 scam.

Don't give them any personal information or your bank account number.

Delete their email.

The link below will show you it is a scam.

The people who sent you the email are hoping you are stupid and greedy enough to fall for it.

If you continue communicating with them they will soon start asking you for a "processing fee" and your bank account number in order to collect your alleged winnings. What they will do is drain your account of what you do have.
