ON 11th OCTOBER 2008, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE BRITISH NATIONAL LOTTERY TELLING ME MY EMAIL ADDRESS HAD BEEN SELECTED OUT OF THOUSANDS, MATCHED TO SOME NUMBERS AND I WAS NOW AN EXTREMELY LUCKY PERSON HAVING WON £850, 000. ALL I HAD TO DO NOW WAS SEND SOME INFORMATION TO THEM TO GET THE MONEY. THEY SAID THEY HAD SPOKEN TO THE 'UK NATIONAL LOTTERY ADVISORY BOARD AND THE INTERNAL REVENUE BOARD' AND AGREED TO SEND, IN A PACKAGE, MY CERTIFIED CHEQUE AND WINNING CERTIFICATE. THEN THEY ASKED FOR MY BANK NAME AND ACCOUNT No. WHY WOULD THEY NEED THEM IF THEY WERE POSTING MY CHEQUE TO ME? I TRIED TO CONTACT THE 'INFO@' EMAIL ADDRESS THEY PROVIDED BUT IT WAS NON-EXISTANT SO I TRIED ANOTHER EMAIL THEY GAVE WITH A NAME; STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY. THIS ALL LOOKED SO REAL UNTIL I CHECKED IT OUT; THESE SCUM-BAGS NEED TO BE REMOVED PERMANENTLY FOR RAISING PEOPLES HOPES. I AM OUT OF WORK DUE TO HAVING BOTH KNEES REPLACED AND ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY IS PRECIOUS AT THE MOMENT. PLEASE GET RID OF THEM. HOW WOULD I KNOW IF IT WAS A GENUINE WIN?
