When i actually googled the draw no. and id......i was shocked to see that any body can view it and misuse it,
but i carried on with the scene so that i can get max. information possible and give it to you.
Later on they asked for my details(& i gave them correct details,that was only mistake i did)
In a subsequent mail they said they've sent a parcel(containing a cheque) from this courier agency and i need to pay some amount to collect it:
CONTACT SKYNET COURIER SERVICE AND DISPATCH SERVICE.
SkyNet Worldwide Express
Lawrence Road, Hounslow Middlesex, TW4 6DR.
Contact Person.Phillip Steven.
TELEPHONE: +44-701-113-0645

So this was the information,i was able to collect and i would be catching hold of the courier person and then try to backtrack to the culprits,the scammers.
But in course of all that , I've disclosed my identity details like Name,Current address,Permanent Address,Phone Number ,Occupation and Company name and this can be misused.
I hereby want to declare myself innocent if my identity is misused by those criminals,
I would do whatever i could possibly do to catchhold of those scammers ,from my side.
But i have to bear all this insecurity all because of the BIG STUPIDITY of UK National Lottery that they are broadcating their results , i want them to be taught a lesson and repay for everyone who became victim of such scams.
