These are bogus. The UK lottery does not know any names - you can only claim a prize if you present a winning ticket. Ignore these emails

Look at the questions I have answered on this site in my info. There are so many winners there could not be enough money to pay them all.There is no International Lottery.This is a Nigeria scam. Yahoo/MSN, U.K. and Australian lotteries, football lotteries from the same counties, Global-Link, World Poverty, Microsoft, Free Lotto, which now seems to have it's own people answering gambling questions on this site claiming they have won which is a total lie, and hundreds more. I am a retired Police Officer that has years of experience investigating Internet scams and frauds. This is an old one. The common link to them getting your email is on line surveys. Yahoo does not give it's stock holders money away nor does it give it's email subscribers address's to lotteries. The only way to win in a lottery is to buy a ticket, if you didn't you could not possibly win. Here is the website of the 17 nation law enforcement task force that investigates cross border Internet crime. You may file a complaint there. www.econsumer.gov. Also go to www.ripoffreport.com and browse complaints and you will find many having the same doubts as yourself about these scams. Below is a typical scam and how they work it. They just go under a thousand different names. They are asking you to send a prepayment to collect your winnings and they want you to send it by a money wire service. Lotteries do not just pick your name out of thin air, and just so happen to have your email also. No Internet service provider gives their email list out to lotteries. If you did not pay to play you could not possibly win.

Your question hardly seems real and I have certainly never heard of Couiler Company. If you have not entered into a lottery then you cannot have won.

No matter how good it all looks it's a scam these fraudsters are very clever ,to win you must first have a ticket one that you have purchased no one can win anything they have not entered.it's all a pack of lies.

How could you possibly have won the UK lottery if you have not entered it?
Get real how could you not know its a scam?

completely bogus. the UK lotto doesn't know the names of ticket holders, so there is no way they could contact them even in this country.
Besides you didn't buy a ticket ( or you would know they don't take names) so how could you win.
