DO NOT reply to any emails you receive saying that you have won a lottery that
you did not enter. They are frauds. You will lose your money.
There is no "free lunch"; don't be foolish and believe a scam! We can not
say it any more plainly: YOU WILL NOT BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL BY ANY
LEGITIMATE LOTTERY THAT YOU WON A PRIZE. If you do receive such an email,
it IS a fraud, do not reply to it! If you DID reply to one,

see what you will likely receive back.
In the UK, call the hotline at 020 7211 8111 to check or report lottery scams.
This scam is almost identical to the
previous email. They just changed a few names. Pathetic, isn't it?
We particularly like the "drawn from a pool of over 25,000 names of
distinguished professionals" line. Do you really think that you and
everyone who receives this email is an internationally known "distinguished
professional"?
