I just wanted to say I figured it to be a hoax so I told them if i won something send it to me certified check.I have had no response, but people be careful about any that says you won money, if you hve won it will come to you in adifferent way.

I just received the same e-mail as of today, 1/3/2008.....I serach AND found this site....I find that is a scam of the British lottery..
How do they get our email?.....Thats wierd...WATCH OUT!!!EVERYONE!!!!

"MICROSOFT" Date 12-20-07- WELL I FELL FOR THIS ONE ! BECAUSE IT WAS FROM "MICROSOFT CORPORATION,"SWEEPSTAKES DEPARTMENT"ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY LOTTERY.#MY-E-MAIL,ADDRESS HAS QUALIFIED YOU AS ONE OF THE LUCKY WINNERS,WHICH HAS SUBSEQUENTLY WON YOU 75,000.00 PDS PROVIDE ACCURATE IMFORMATION; "IF THEIR IS A HOT LINE PUT THIS ONE ON IT IT JUST HAPPENED 12-20-07..........I SENT 250.00 (WESTERN UNION) MRS.ELAINE LAWERENCE,RS LOGISTIC HOUSE,ALITWALIS RD,PONTARSAIS,CARM,DYFED SA32 7 DU UNITED KINGDOM...

I tried to verify it but I was directed to thesweepstakes department.! SINCERELY,Larry Bush

Danm South Africans we should of went war with them instead of Iraq

I'm relieved that I have researched this before sending out any information. I just got the same e-mail last week about this British Lottery. On the e-mail it says that I have won, and I was to contact someone in South Africa to claim my winnings. Then just yesterday they sent me something called "Bank transfer form".Good thing I watched MSNBC dateline investigation. I thought of doing some research myself, and came to prove my suspicions true. That this was a big scam..Glad I did not fall in theor trap.

Hey if it sounds to good to be true IT IS!!!!!!! Although I never played on the internet, I recieved a check for the amount of 3665.90 and of course to be mailed back.3450.00. But the problem I have is I deposited it into my bro in laws account (as I don't have one)What happens if In 3-5 days the check clears, and I withdraw the amount requested, But don't send it to them will I have to pay this money back? or will it effect my bro in law or his account?

Hi everyone. I'm from NY, NY, and I recently received a letter in my e-mail from Malaysia saying that my e-mail address was randomly selected and it turned out that I had the winning numbers and had won 1.000.000.00( That is one million U.S. dollars) My mother and I (for i am 16) read into the e-mail and we were totally excited about our good luck. But one really has to question people now in this day. How could we win a lottery if we didn't enter one? And why would someone just randomly give away free money? A million dollars at that. I had a sixth sense about this, so I looked it up to see if it was a scam, and I came to this site. I'm glad that my mother wasn't as gullable as I would've been. She only gave her name, date of birth, and our address, but she didn't give away any i.d., like her passport info or social security #. Are we still at risk of identity theft if we gave only that info? I hope not. I think it is so cruel to trick someone like that, get their hopes up, and then steal their money. But I guess that's our sad world. It's a good thing I listened to my instincts. A million dollars sure would've been great though...

DAMNIT.. i feel real dumb.. because i fill the form out then after i send it off i immediately think well WHO IS BRITISH LOTTERY INC?? hmmm then i google it just to find its a SCAM!!! :/ i am super pissed! i hope they cant do any thing with the info.. i cant believe SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many people have been swindeled into thinkin this is real something needs to be DONE!!!!'
IRATE IN KANSAS CITY, MO

I feel very stupid as I should. I replyed to the e-mail. My question is what can they do with that information they cant get into my bank acounts can they?
And is there anything I can do to stop any problems from happening?
I am very concerned, if anyone has any info please let me know

I too have recieved an email from the British National Lottery and have pasted it below.

Pl comments on reality of this mail

Folks you can fight these idiots by setting up your spam filters to trash incoming email according to certain words in the body of the text or subject line. I set up filters for the words Lottery, Nigeria, "dearest one" and got rid of over half of unwanted fraud attempts. The other thing that will ruin these guys party if suddenly their own in-boxes were stuffed with junk. When I'm bored I copy some text insulting the persons very small sized manhood and inability to satisfy their wife (very effective for African scammers for some reaon) from notepad and paste it and hit reply. Now I have just wasted a half a minute of his time and left him frothing at the mouth. Priceless. So please, join me and lets spam the scammers!

Hey everyone

QUick tip...every email coming from any computer somehow is encrypted with an IP address. Now if you can get a good network person to be able to check your incoming mail and check for originating IP address, THen you have a valid ip address to give to the cops. ANd if they do their job, you can get the busted.
Best way to do this is try and engage the person you are talking to in a chat room...for instance, Yahoo or AIM. while chatting with them, yuou can google for internet ip address chat trackers and you will b e able to generate the IP address of the idiot without his know how. Then you can just pass that on to the cops

I received a letter last week from BRITISH FOUNDATION LOTTO, 20 ELLIS AVE, LONDON, ENGLAND, but the envelope was postmarked from Canada, with a return address of PO BOX 56890 MTL, QC H4L 2A8! I don't know how they got a hold of my name, either. I don't gamble or buy into lottery. I was actually excited initially, but as we all know, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. There was a seemingly very real check enclosed, made out to me for $3,450.55. The name in the upper left corner was JOHN HANCOCK, but without any other info, such as address. The bank was listed as CITIBANK N.A. NEW CASTLE DE 19720. I brought it to my bank to ask if the check was in fact authentic. They thought that it was. It had watermarks on the backside and perferated edges, they did a really nice job making up this check! Then I proceded to tell them why I suspected that it may be fraudulent and then they immediately pointed to the shredder and said that anything coming from any lottery is ALWAYS A SCAM!!!! And if I deposited it into my account, I would be letting them into my personal information, bank account #, name, address, birthdate, ETC!!! and from there anything could happen......namely IDENTITY THEFT!!! I haven't seen anyone mention BRITISH FOUNDATION LOTTO, but in reading what others certificates say, mine reads almost identical in wording!!! It also states to be "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL AS PART OF OUR SECURITY PROTOCOL UNTIL YOUR WINNING HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND MONEY REMITTED TO YOU." Also states that I have to contact MY CLAIM AGENT, CATHY ANDERSON, OF ACME FINANCIAL GROUP AT 1226 BRIDGE STREET, STE 4000, LONDON, ENGLAND at the telephone number 011-44-7504490363. THE LETTER IS SIGNED BY A JAMES PARKER. This is horribly awful. What a tremendous tease. I could really use this money right now. I'm sure we all could. I can't stand people....robbers like this. REPORT THESE PEOPLE!!!! I PLAN TO LET CITIBANK and JOHN HANCOCK, AND GIVE COPIES OF THE LETTER AND CHECK TO THE BANKS NEARBY. I AM ALSO GOING TO SEND COPIES TO MY LOCAL NEWS CHANNELS, ALONG WITH THIS WEBSITE ADDRESS, SO TOGETHER, WE CAN FIGHT STRONGER!!!

i received a mail stating that my email has just won me 500 000 (five hundred thousand ) british pounds. i will like to have a feedback to know whether this is a scam. it seems these thing have really taking a new twist onlione.

W Foltz, did you read the comments here?

The checks are fake. You'll bank account will increase temporarily until your bank figures out that it's a bad check. The money will then be withdrawn. The scammers won't lose any money because the check is a forgery.

Deposit it if you like, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I RECIEVED 2 E-MAILS FROM THE BRITISH LOTTERY TODAY. AND I TALKED TO 3 PEOPLE. I THIK THIS IS REDICULOUS. IM JUST GLAD I DIDN' GIVE THEM MY SS#.

SCAM ARTISTS - REMEMBER BUYER BEWARE - THIEF HAS COME TO KILL STEAL AND DESTROY OUR GOD FEARING NATION IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE - DONT LET THEM DO IT....WE SACRIFIED TOO MUCH TO BLOOD AND FAITH TO EARN OUR BLESSINGS HOLD FAST TO THEM...
