If you STILL had to ask here after reading that email, I can tell what type of person you are.

Look at the email address - bbcdrawboard768@HOTMAIL.CO.UK.



Seriously. People like you deserve to be scammed.

Its fake especially that the e-mail address is

bbcdrawboard768@hotmail.co.uk



If it were from the bbc

1. it wouldn't be a hotmail it would be something like @bbc.co.uk or something like that, im not on what it is officially but it wouldn't be hotmail, (one company doesn't use another company's e-mail servers for publication, and definitely not the bbc)

2.bbcdrawboard seems cheesy and then it has numbers?? really numbers? if it were the bbc do you think they would have to use numbers

3.all the e-mail does it blab about garbage that you've won nothing else if it were remotely true it would at least address you directly. even slightly.



believe me when i tell you this is as fake as it comes and did you even enter the lottery VIA e-mail?



this seems so fake its painfull, just don't follow any of the links the e-mail has.



allways navigate to the official site yourself and check its authenticity if you don't want to get scammed etc.

unless you got a ticket of the official national lottery website it is fake 100%. i have a direct debit so it does it for me i never need to check the tickets and thety email me when i get winning numbers which i did a few week ago and i got the email, so that's the only one to go off. otherwise delete and ignore

the bbc does not run lotteries, it broadcasts the lottery. If you look at the lottery homepage they tell you quite clearly they do not send out emails telling you the amount you have won.



if you have answered giving personal information you risk having you ID stolen, or they will ask you for money.

This is a long-running internet scam. You didn't win anything because there isn't anything to win. Yahoo/MSN are bitter enemies right now, and certainly wouldn't hold a lottery together, or separately. NEITHER ONE CONDUCTS LOTTERIES AND NEITHER ONE GIVES AWAY MONEY!

All emails are fake, They will ask you for your bank account details soon then they will take all of your money from your account instead of taking it, Just REMEMBER ALL EMAILS >> ARE << FAKE.
