I am required to give all sorts of details. Should I go ahead with this claim. Most times, they require you to pay them money to send the winnings to you. That should not be necessary. If money is won, they should send it to you without you having to pay them. Don't you think so?

Dear Fabian , tell me anyone who wud be willing to help you without any cause, even our almighty takes time to answer our calls. then who are these lottery guys trying to help you when you didnt even ask them to.
all they do is run away with the money that you send to get the earnings. i got a similar mail and when i contacted those guys by calling them , they never knew about any such lottery and it was from london.

Yes it is most definitely a scam, seeing as you don't seem to have registered and recently entered a draw on the National Lottery website. However as far as I'm aware the UK National Lottery will only send you a results email, and it's up to you to realise you've won and when you login, the winnings will be in your balance. You don't have to take any action to claim the winnings usually, which these scam emails try to make you do! They say something like contact such and such who is the beneficiary etc blah blah and they will pay you. Don't do it. I noticed above someone has said that it's illegal to play the lottery in two different countries. This is not strictly true. I live in the UK (Northern Ireland) but I am free to take part in both the Republic of Ireland National Lotto and the UK National Lottery. I believe its different elsewhere for example in the US, you have to be resident in the appropriate state to take part in that states Lottery.

Ok, first question. Did you buy a ticket or register with the Liverpool lottery??? If the answer is no then move on. You are not going to win something that you have not registered for or purchased a ticket.

I think you should have got the message by now, its likely to be a scam.
I am in Liverpool and have never heard of such a lottery. Delete it and don't give it a second thought

No I got one of these before. It stated their phone number and asked my bf if it was a legit number, he said no. It was a cell number and not located at the place they say. DO NOT give them anything. They will just take money from you. It is a scam.

Do not fall for it, Its all fraud, never give personal detail and bank account number or credit card number. Do not claim it unless you have to repent later on. BEWARE. not hundred but thousands of people are cheating by adopting these methods

I got one also about 6 months ago, and I checked it out with the Bnak and the London police, it's a scam.

My response would be to forget it. If you do happen to go for it . Then I've got a bridge in the desert that's FOR SALE
