I got an email saying I was one of 6 winners for their monthly promos and would get a LARGE sum of money, some 820,000 pounds. I think It's a scam.
Please investigate and let me know.

It is a scam; on their homepage it says if you did not buy a ticket, you did not win; and it's a scam

This is a scam. I get emails a few times a week stating I won a ton of money in some overseas lottery I never entered. Only one time I actually checked into the reference number given just to try to track these people. It turns out they want you to give them money so they can send you money? The time I checked it was stated that international money transfers cost about $500 and in order to get the won amount, you need to wire transfer the $500, which is BS. If you do some research into the UK lotto you'll see that people who did actually send the money never seen or heard anything ever again and were out what they sent as the transfer fee. Avoid at all cost.

Its a SCAM..
Think about it.. If you won a Lottery... Anywhere in the WORLD..... Don't you think they would fly you out there so, they can have you on TV and whatever else...
Think about it.. Here in the US.. If anyone wins anything even near a million.. Its all over the newspapers and TV...
There probley going to try and steal your identity or after you fill out Payment Processing.. There going to say please send us (about) $5,000 for the taxes and processing fees...
So, I wouldn't do anything but, just ignore them.. Or write back and say.. Send me the money and I'll send you the info back once I received it..
They will never answer you back.. and I would try and call you Internet provider and tell them about it...
Good luck with everything and let us know what happens...

I too get the same e-mails. I think it is totally Cheating and they need some data to make false entries and take out money so that it appeares genunie for others
