Did you enter a euro lottery? No?
Then ask yourself this .... how could I possibly have won??????
That should set the old alarm bells ringing straight away, the bit about having to pay something like £29 to get your money (about £650,000) should be the clincher.
Why would you have to pay a small amount to get your hands on a large amount when the 'fee' could be deducted from your 'winnings'?
The old proverb is true.
If it seems too good to be true it probably is.

I received one this week with fac-simile of examine drawn out in my call for US$a million.999.ninety shown in finished length and finished shade, monetary company call and type of examine all protected, nicely conventional monetary company and feels like you should p.c.. it off the exhibit! ok, I have an Apple OSX Tiger, it somewhat is somewhat lifelike for images and scans. This turned right into a prize for having been the 999.999th. man or woman to have study a information web page. It changed into in my junk mail report yet completely seen because it changed into inserted at the front web page of a nicely conventional website which I study each day. i did not even thank the kind donor which, of route changed into no longer the Newspaper, yet I did sense like reporting the very reality to the writer. i did not list, for the reason that to win the prize i wanted only to click on the examine, which i'm particular would have opened this the front web page in ordinary format and without examine! Sorry adult adult males for being so express, yet it truly is the suitable trick I have come throughout the time of. Now, please calculate what are your possibilities of being the 999.999th reader of a common information? I deleted on the on the spot, closed my Safari browser, opened Firefox 2.0.0.4 and positioned an identical web page, which Yahoo had no longer placed in junk mail mail. The web page changed into valid and there changed into no aspect out of prizes nor that i changed into 999.999th reader. Neat one this, the suitable I have considered. My purpose of explaining in all element is only to reveal how cheaters are refining their approaches. So, please do no longer open, settle for or do something else yet DELETE on the on the spot! no longer something is loose, if Yahoo, or Google supply you loose service is because their income comes from promotion and fee on sales that are concluded with the help of their facilities, and that i feel free to allow you to recognize this because i take advantage of both and that i'm no longer a salesperson for both of them. Please get smart, and trust your service and no one else. Cheers to all that study this far, Iain

If at all unsure, go to the trading standards website which has a list of recent scams. I received a similar notification by post 6 months ago and it was bogus.

yes a scam. If you have not entered it how can you have won? People don't just give money out because they have your email address.

It is a very common scam. My brother in law got it and thought we told him it was a scam because we were jealous, and he actually almost went through with it - like giving out all his info and account numbers.
I almost wish he did LOL

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!! Don't give in to tempting offers. More than likely, someone's out to make money by scamming innocent people. Resist it!

When did you enter this Lottery?
Yea, send them the information they request and any money for processing. They will send the money when Hell Freezes over.
