no not at alll, i keep getting such wining notification, these sites after having information from u, can hack ur passowrd and all details, there r possible chances of theft tooo
BEWARE.
hell yeah get that money
could be a scam.
You have to ask yourself which of two situations you could live with.
1. It's true and you do nothing about it.
2. It's not and you follow it up (bailing out if you are asked for any money or get suspicious.). If they are genuine they will be more than willing to do so.
NO Don't fall for it they are going to want your bank info and you shouldn't do anything like that on computer or phone. Never give out that info. It is a HOAX. Believe me I fell for something like that and I ended up paying out alot of money and didn't get anything
Dont beleive it is Bullshit... and tryin to cheat people online...

I got something like this but I didn't even bother to read it because it's usually spam, once you enquire they spam you more, so if you want to follow up use an anonymous remailer or something. Alternatively search for this UK national lottery on the net and if a legitimate site comes up in the first few (like .gov.uk) see if they're email address coincides with this and ask them whether this is real.
hi
i have just made a search on google for the address shown on your enquiry and it is a scam you can actually copy that letter from an address posted
further on in the search it explains that the scam has been circulating for awhile from Nigeria
the best place for it is in the bin
well kristin i live in the uk and play the lottery every week and its the first i,ve heard of this-and the national lottery are very quick to announce promotions such as this. i live by one rule princess-if it sounds too good to be true-it usually is. this is not to say its not true by the same token you might want to look into it-go into their website-if this is not mentioned be wary-alternatively you could call lottery hq-and they will confirm whether your letter is good or not. but under no circumstances do you send money/bank details until this has been checked out. nb-if you are under 16 kristin you cannot claim-but your mom or dad can. having just gone back to your thread and read it again i see 43 has come up twice-this would not happen in a uk lottery draw.
If you are silly enough to ask, then you are silly enough to be taken in.
never never believe in such kind of things
BEWARE OF THE NIGERIAN SCAM!
Just ignore some bloggers emotional replies.
