I too received this e-mail. It's well presented, and they even have the National Lottery Logo with the e-mail. I fell for it to start off with, but it suddenly dawned on me that National Lottery changed its name to Lotto a couple of years ago so must be a scam. I googled the ONLINE Promo awards and came across this site. Lucky Me! I can't believe I was being so dumb as to think that this was true!!!

I, too, received this same e-mail. At first, it looked kind of official, and they respond to your email right away. Then I got a phone call supposedly diredtly from the courier services giving me the 3 options how I want to receive my winning. Well, at that point, when I saw them asking for money to pay for the fee, that's when I was like, "Oh no, you are not". I told the guy "Mr Terry Hopkins" that I will have to verify and see if this is legitimate and so far I haven't heard back from him. That's when I went online and googled it and "Voila!". Don't get fooled even if the email shows the logo of the UK national lottery and TNT courier services. I went to the official UK National Lottery website and there was no mention at all of the "Online Promo Awards". They try to target those who already on the down low and desparately need some money like myself but I am that stupid. Don't fall for it!!!!

Yes, just got this one today, actually twice in one day. They are scammers - anyone that falls for this, I don't feel sorry for them. Plus, this is an international lottery, why would you fall for that?
Just delete these bad boys and send a nice email to your mom.
