I have alot of e-mails from UK lottery, winning thousands of dollars and also Yahoo and Mico Soft in Brittan?

Question

how true are these.

Answer 1

all of them are scam. ignore. spam. delete.

Answer 2

Some of those services are real.

But the e-mails that you received are probably faked.

Like crude jokes that people without the proper knowledge would fall, there seems to be more than one way to fail. The first could be truly believing into a false propose, the second could be false believing that some of those services do not exits!

In Brasil, those things are know as 171 (much like flying checks) .

There are some syndicate services about U.K. games, but you need to join to use them. The first "tries" are FREE.

In the topic of syndicates, there are Australian syndicates about PowerBall and other games too.

The weird about 'syndicates' is that "Pyramid" schemes are considered wrong in most places, but lottery syndicates are possible! In fact, some people get more money or tickets from syndicates than other things ...

Answer 4

This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet. There is also an online form for the reporting of such - (with links for your own country.) This site also gives excellent advice on what steps you can take to achieve a spam free inbox :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email 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 emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
