Answer 3

answer this question, did you buy a lottery ticket in the UK? Now if you didn't go over to the UK and bought a ticket in their lottery. Then how would you be a winner? hmmmmm

you're the kind of person they hope to hook you on the ideal that you have won the lottery that worth about so many pounds and you will rush to send them some money to clear it and information about your personal banking account. then they just steal your money right under your nose. they believe that Americans are naive and greed when it come to winning a lottery.  Yes, its a scam that be going on for some time now.  myself have put up a spam blocker as well but they figure a way how to by pass your blocker.  a rule of thumb, if you didn't buy a lottery ticket, then you didn't win a lottery. number 2 is no member of the lottery board will never ask you to send money to get the money that you already won nor ask you for your personal bank account.

Answer 4

I have had that email several times. It is sent by fraudsters who will try and get your bank details to steal your money.

Ignore it, it is not genuine.
