Seriously now............how do I take this news? I received a personal e-mail from the "Online Coordinator for UK National Lottery, as well as an e-mail from the manager of the Bank of London asking me to contact them and let them know how I wanted the funds to be transferred.

You probably have to send $1000 lbs. to pay for the shipment.


Sounds scammy to me.


In that case, maybe you're not my favorite person on here....rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

serious??

first thing I would do is to check the authenticity of the emails....or, you can contact the BLA independently to verify, rather than responding to the email

probably a scam... but you can always call the bank directly and findo ut but I doubt the bank director would want to talk to someone who justwon the lottery... ... google that mail address together with the word scam... or google the names or the lottery name thing together with the word scam and see what google finds..

It's a scam, there is no "Bank Of London".

The "lottery" has no Annual Bonanza prize, bebause there is no bonanza!!!

And thirdly, prize winners of the lottery have a ticket, they have to claim their prizes....unless somehow you managed to be the only person to buy the ticket and they entered your email address in a competition and your the only contestant!!!

Feel free to send it to me, and i'll forward it to "trading standards" at my end and hopefully they will investigate the scammer.

It's a scam. I have had these type of emails before. What you do is email them back and ask for cheque. I guarantee that they will not do this and will want your Bank Account details. Once they have your bank account details you are in trouble.
