After exchange of several e-mails between me and the lottery board as well as so calles high prfile bank . And on top of that this is what they have written to me "Dear Winner
This is to inform you that you have fully been cleared a winner of the BRITISH NATIONAL LOTTERY 2007 BONUS DESK program. I am happy to inform you that a Certified bank cheque, Original Certificate of winning, has been forwarded to our affiliate COURIER COMPANY Mailpost Courier Services"
Do you think this could be a scam? because what the are asking me to pay them couple of thousand pounds in advance for tax before the winning prize could be transferred to my account!!! What guarantee would I have that the money would be transferred to my account after the money that I am required to pay before hand ? Please contact me by e mail or phone if somebody has experieced the same hting. My number is 1-868-365-4086 and email kanti12us@yahoo.com.
Thanks

Yeah it's a scam. If they want you to pay that would be a red flag for me. It it was really for taxes then they could just withhold it from your winnings and send you the remainder.
Also, did you enter into this lottery. If they are giving you something for a contest you didn't enter then it is a scam.

no person has ever gained a lottery that they did no longer enter. they are all scams. You under no circumstances ought to pay something to get winnings because of the fact that they might constantly take it out of the winnings. I even have gained a lottery each few days this 12 months. i could be a billionaire if each little thing I even have gained became real.
