DONE - Quiries against winning information through email

[Unregistered]

One mail from Mr. Richard K. Lloyd, online Sweepstakes coordinator for UK NATIONAL LOTTERY sent to me ion 12.03.2006 nforming that I won a prize in Draw No.#1066 held on 11.03.2006 and my Ticket No.56475600545 188 with Serial No.5368/02. To file my claim I was advised to contact Mrs. Sharon Cole <filing4verification_unit2@yahoo.co.uk>. On contact I was instructed by Mrs. Cole to contact Mr. Marlvin Reeves, Manager Frontier Forwarding Services Ltd. <frontier102delivery@yahoo.co.uk> and my Reg.No.AD234324. After sending all the detail datas to Mr. Reeves, I was asked to deposit a sum of GBP369 towards the cost of Post Office Mail to their Annexe Account in India (Name : Micheal Savio Obidike, Acct.No.5470982111 Bank Name :Citibank, India). On receipt of confirmation from Mr. Obidike, India then my winner cheque will be transferred.
But on thoroughly checking all the mails I noticed a great difference in winning amount. Mr. Lloyd informed that my winning amount is GBP141,022. But Mr. Reeves informed that my winning amount is GBP552,000. Now I became very much doubtful and need your help in this respect. If you require any further information please coontact through email : <Email removed to protect user's privacy.>

This is definitely 100% fraud. All the email addresses you posted are free ones that anyone could have signed up for. A real lottery would not use free email addresses. They probably wouldn't make that kind of mistake with the prize amount either.

The law in the UK prohibits a lottery from asking you for any kind of fees in order to collect a prize. It is illegal to do so, and no legitimate lottery anywhere asks for fees in advance to claim winnings. A lottery in the UK can definitely not charge you fees. These people on the other hand will eventually ask you for money.

If you do a Google search on the ticket number (56475600545 188)
http://www.google.com/search?q=56475600545+188
You will find hundreds of examples of people who have "won" various amounts of money with the same number. And none of them even bought a ticket...

Sorry, but this is just a scam intended to make you part with your cash.
