Lottery e-mail sweepstake. Is this e-mail notification of winning a substantial sum a scam by UK Lottery.?

Question

Notification has been posted via e-mail that a substantial amount of money has been won from the E-UK Lottery. Winners have been chosen via random e-mail address. Is this a scam ?????

Answer 1

Yes Marlene it's a scam.



First off, there is no E-UK Lottery. There is a UK National Lottery, and you can play online. But you have to be a UK resident and you still have to buy the tickets.



There is no lottery in the world that randomly selects email addresses and hands out free money to the winner. What would be the point? How would the company running it make any money?



I would be prepared to bet you $10,000 right now, that the email you got is a scam, and you have not won a penny.



Check out the link I've posted. It's the official take from the real UK National Lottery.

Answer 2

Its a SCAM..

Think about it.. If you won a Lottery... Anywhere in the WORLD..... Don't you think they would fly you out there so, they can have you on TV and whatever else...

Think about it.. Here in the US.. If anyone wins anything even near a million.. Its all over the newspapers and TV...



There probley going to try and steal your identity or after you fill out Payment Processing.. There going to say please send us (about) $5,000 for the taxes and processing fees...



So, I wouldn't do anything but, just ignore them.. Or write back and say.. Send me the money and I'll send you the info back once I received it..

They will never answer you back.. and I would try and call you Internet provider and tell them about it...



Good luck with everything and let us know what happens...
