Fraudulent (Scam) Emails – what to do first
Lottery scam (fraudulent) emails are increasing at an alarming rate.
Scam emails try to persuade the email receiver to submit personal information or to part with money as an up front payment in order to release a winning lottery prize.
As a general rule, if you have not purchased a ticket for the UK National Lottery, you won’t have won a prize, and you should treat the email with absolute caution.
The following points are some things to look for in order to identify a fraudulent email:
* If the email says ‘Winning Notification’ or ‘Lottery Sweep Stake’ in the text, the email you’ve received is not from UK National Lottery;
* We don’t tell players how much they've won in an email; and
* We don’t ask for any Player information like name, address or bank details on an email.

It's spam. People have been trying to stop it for years.
Don't respond to it. That will just let the spammer know your email address is valid and you'll get even more.
Mark it as spam and delete it.
If you're using Yahoo! Mail, activate your Spam Folder.

Don't "tell" them anything. If you respond to that email, you'll get ten times as much or more.

It's spam and a scam and, I'm afraid, part of day to day e-mail.
Ignore it, delete it.
