K National Lottery Random winner

[Plutus]

I have just been informed by E-mail that I have won �1.2 MILLION POUNDS in a lottery for which I was entered free of charge. This comes from `K national lottery`  (not U.K.) complete with the crossed fingers registered trademark.  In the same draw in May I only won �178,000 which I have yet to claim, along with 540,000 euros AND U.S.$1MILLION from Dutch international lotteries.  All these are obviously scams to get ME to part with a lot of money in order to stake a claim and are just an update of the Nigerian swindles.  However this latest missive which `origates` from the National Lottery in Liverpool and has the genuine lottery logo is the most persuasive yet and I feel that some-one will be taken in - especially if it is the first they`ve had.   Does anyone know of such a person and just how much they have lost chasing their non-existent prize?

I live in Liverpool, and we do have a lottery office here. I don't think they would send you an email if you won though :/ Why don't you try and claim it, but if you have to pay them any money then tell them to stick it.

i got an e mail saying i won the lottery. they are scams they dont ask for money but take your telephone number and the scam has something to do with that, so beware

These people really make me sick especially the ones that come through the door, imagine what that does to old people or really desperate poor people to think they might have won something, really really makes me angry

I got an email exactly like this about 3 or 4 months ago, I phoned the proper lottery office in liverpool(got number from lottery website) and informed them of it, as I too thought of vunerable people getting taken in by it.  They told me they already knew about it and that it was under investigation
