UK National Lottery

I recieved this email yesterday and not sure what it is. Is this a scam, trying to get me to sign up for something etc. Someone
wanna help me out?

 

fake i got the exact same thing months ago

 

Alright thanks, what is it?

 

idk all i knew its a fake u wont win anythin

 

And how do you know its fake?

 

It's a foreign mass emailer that just tries to scam you. It happens all the time such as: "Get your Business on Top", or "Click the Ducky to Win!". It's that kind of thing. Take my word for it.

 

And whats the scam?

 

It's one of those where they say: "Shoot the Ducky to Win", or "You are the 999,999,999th visitor! You are a winner!". They are just trying to expand their little "Lottery". Add my MSN.

 

I still dont understand though, so what will happen if I give them my information?

 

ya its a scam..... ive got 5 of the same emails and my friends have got it to

 

I did it once, I proceeded and responded for a while, then they wanted me to pay $50 to claim my $1,000,000 that i wone.

 

Thanks, congratz on being the gayest spamming prick on sythe

 

honestly. any email with hotmail.com, aol.com, aol.co.uk, yahoo.com,yahoo.com.au etc... are fake.

i think the big companies use their own domain emails say if a company is called Nationlottery then im sure they would have an email with @nationlottery.com, or something like that.

 

The National Lottery is a British thing in which many old people put their hope in numbers and balls, hoping they will scoop a massive cash prize.

 

Its a scam, Fin.. They wanted me to pay all sorts of things

 

Any time you get an email from another country, claiming you won their lottery, when you clearly never participated in it, is obviously a scam..seriously.

Thats mainly common since.

And like inpherus said, they would not use a free email service to conduct their business. Never give out information on the net claiming you won stuff.

 

scam scam its has a aol address and you will never get a email for money

 

Scam. They slowly get you into the sense that you did win, then overtime they want you to pay a certain amount of money to claim you're damn prize (which you never participated in.) They'll start off with around $20 dollars a month or so and end up with $5,000 a month. I knew this one old retired lady who paid a total of $15,000 over a period of a few years. poor lady never recieved a penny.

 

Show us the email headers, faggot.
