Have you just received an email from the "UK Online Lottery"?
Before you plan your trip to Disney World, you might want to know that there is
NO "UK Online Lottery" And the names in the email ("Joy May", "Joan
Clack") are equally fictitious. Below is an actual scam email purporting to be from the "UK
Online Lottery" Note that the real UK lottery is called "The
National Lottery Commission" and is operated by the
Camelot Group plc.
And they never email winners.
