I have received an email that has no advertising of any kind, telling me that I've won the UK national lottery to the sum of 2.7 million Great British Pounds. It has a serial # reference # name of accounts officer in a bank in scotland, which I called to see if it exisited and it did, complete with long-distance delays in conversation. I've asked them to send a specific email from a plain jane person and to quote my daughters name so I knew a person and not a machine sent it, and they did, even quoting the terms I used, and assuring me I need not worry. But the thing is for them to transfer the winnings from the uk to canada saftely, they need me to set up an account for a large sum transfer overseas, and that costs 500 pounds which works out to almost 1200 bucks canadian. It just so happens that it's tax time and i have the money but it's also the only time of year I SEE that much money. and damned if I'm going to be a sucker and lose it to a scam. I'm trying to find their line of BS
