I don't see how you could've won as they just notified me last week that I won. Yes, this is a scam. I also received a check, made out to me, with my correct address from MY bank. How they got the info is scary enough but the FBI now has the check so maybe it is their turn to be scared. Peace.

I hate to spoil your excitement, but it's probably a scam. Do they want to know your bank account number before they issue the check? Do they want a so-called "good faith" deposit (usually in the thousands of pounds)?
There should be a government office that you can call to verify the legitimacy of this letter. We have a very similar scam running here in the U.S., so please be careful.

it extremely is rather doubt finished that it extremely is authentic. it extremely is better than probably unsolicited mail. they are attempting to sell you something. Advertisers, very like the police, will inform you something to get what they like. be careful whilst beginning emails with this kind of content. it extremely is a uncomplicated technique it is used to attack your computer with secret agent-ware, viruses, advert-ware, and worms. I hate to sound so pessimistic, with a bit of luck it extremely is authentic. Its continuously intense high quality to work out somebody hit the jackpot. sturdy success!

Do you really have to ask if this is real? You know it isn't. This kind of email is what delete buttons are for.
