Facts? No one has EVER won an e-mail lottery.
But hey, you could be the first. After all, we're just trying to help you out here. Contact the FTC or your local bank before you get ripped off, I mean deposit or withdraw funds or send personal information.

If you get an unsolicited email, it is undoubtedly a scam. This is ESPECIALLY true with online "lotteries" - how can you win a lottery that you did not enter? Simple logic.
The bottom line, according to the Better Business Bureau and other consumer protection agencies - don't open email from sources you do not recognize. At times, if you open them, it will send a return receipt signal back to the sender that they have reached a valid email. Delete such things unopened as the spam that they truly are.
Hope this helped!

There is no such company as the U.K. Lottery it is a big time scam, do not give them any info on yourself, report it to abuse@yahoo.com.They contacted me several times.

They are all scams and or attempts to get you to buy something you dont need.I received such a lottery invite winner e-mail and checked it out from my English sources, and they found that it was a scam.

Unsolicited mail is a scam. Anything being offered for free is not free. You can't win a lottery you didn't enter.

In the U.S. you can contact the better business bureau. The U.K. may also have some similar organization.

I have learned if it's on the net and it sounds to good to be true it probably is find the phone number for the company and call them.

That's a 64000 dollar unsolvable problem, especially when we are dealing with those on the internet! One ought to be extremely cautious when responding to apparently attractive propositions!

Yes, good question. In fact all questions are good questions! No question about it! The one question is however begging to be asked, which non-partisan segment of the population are you going to trust? I suggest asking the former owner of the current State of California the same question. Who do you trust north of your Northern border?

i, too, have been contacted by many of those type of scams. the best thing to do is delete them and report them as spam. unless you have physically entered some sort of legitimate sweepstakes, most to all of them are just trying to get into your bank account.
