Sample Email Scams Involving the British National Lottery
THE UK NATIONAL ONLINE LOTTERY DRAWS

How to Recognize Them and What To Do If You Receive One

The UK National ONLINE lottery? Another UK National Lottery scam, the "THE UK NATIONAL ONLINE LOTTERY DRAWS" tries to pass itself off as a an online version of the lottery; which of course, does NOT exist.  A real website for the lottery exists, but you must go BUY A TICKET! Your email address cannot and will never win any lottery! The names, Carl A.Allison, Donald Leonard, may be different; they keep changing them to con you!

Of course, there are only two legal lotteries in Britain, the National Lottery and the Monday Lottery, anyway, and they do NOT use email to notify winners. Below is a scam email actually received.

DO NOT reply to any emails you receive that claim 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, click here to see what you will likely receive back.

For your education and entertainment, we have highlighted some of the obvious clues that this is a scam.
