Answer 1

Yes - the Home Office is in Marsham Street off Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster.  It does not run the UK National Lottery, this is done by the Camelot Group in Watford (north of London) which is regulated by an independent Commission which is an agency of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Telephone numbers beginning +44 870 are high cost premium numbers and +44 700 are lower cost premium numbers that can be answered anywhere in the world. +44 79 is a mobile number.

www.fidelityfinance.co.uk is a private domain name used as an e-mail address and has no official or banking connections.

Answer 2

It's a total load of rubbish.

First of all the Home Office doesn't run the National Lottery.

Secondly, all the phone numbers quoted are UK mobile phone numbers, except the 0870.....one which is a non-geographic national rate number.

Thirdly, how could you win a lottery that you didn't enter.

Fourthly, the e-mail address is "@fidelityfinance.co.uk". The web address doesn't exist.

100% certain these are scammers out to take your money and/or steal your ID.

Answer 3

It is a scam. Lotteries require you to claim your prize and details of how to claim are on the ticket. No-one knows who buys which ticket and so no-one can tell you that you have won.

If you have similar questions in future it's worth contacting Consumer Direct on

Answer 6

Sounds very much ;ike a sophisticated and convincing scam.

As far as I am aware, the UK Home Office has nothing directly to do with National Lottery payouts.

If you have a small winning ticket, any Lottery retailer will honour it in cash. For larger amounts, the claim details are on the reverse of the ticket.
