Hello community,Help me please, I received a mail from UK nat.lottery notificating me that i won a prize.
There's a lot of cheats at internet and i don't want to be cheated.
I live in Mexico and i don't know about UK Lottery, they said i'm a winner and they are asking me to pay 1,650.00 GBP to pay the attorney's job to do everything about the neccesary documentation for payment etc.
The address that they gave me are:
UK Nat.Lottery.- PO Box 1010 Liverpool L70 UK
Mr.Sean Aaron - #195 edgware road london Uk
Mr.Silas Aston - 422 gower stl london England UK
I want to know if that adresses are real or I am a future victim of a joke or a forgery or somethin like that.
Please help me. if the prize it's true i will visit you soon but if its not, i will loose the little money that i have..........

i actually work for the National Lottery in the UK. So you are in luck.
And I can 100% assure you this is a scam.You would never ever be charged for receiveing your money, plus if its not on the official national-lottery.co.uk website, then the results dont exist.
DO NOT GIVE ANY MONEY!!!!!!!

I am in the UK and I can assure you that the letter/email you have received is a SCAM...ignore it, delete it, get rid of it. To win anything in the UK National Lottery you MUST first of all buy a ticket....and then be lucky enough to have selected the correct numbers.....
If you ever receive any correspondence asking for money to be able to get your "winnings" be assured that it is a scam and if you send any money, it will be the last you ever see of it.

What ever you do ,do not reply to this. It is a scam by people trying to get your details off, you so that they can empty your bank account. If you have not entered or taken part in this lottery or any other that sends you the same message ignore them, as you have to be " in it to win it" Take care with anything that tries to ask you for information that reveals personal or bank details, as any one who needs them such as your bank will have them anyway.

There is no online UK NATIONAL LOTTERY and, more importantly no lottery would write or e mail you to inform you that you have won. All lotteries require winners to contact them , not them contacting you first.

It is a scam - the lottery does not work like that over here (UK). Ignore it and DO NOT send any money.

Ignore it...the only way that you can win in the lotto or any prize draw is if you had entered in the first place. There are alot of these going around so please ignore it.
If this was genuine then you wouldn't be asked to part with any money or bank details
