I received notice of winning 1,500,000 in the UK National Lottery. It is from a . I am to claim my prize by responding to : claims_agent_ukoffice@yahoo.com.hk. I know this is unlikely, but since a response is to be made over your E-Mail service, I thought you might want to know of any fraudulent activity is being carried out on your service. It seems I read something about companies wanting Bank Numbers, etc. to claim prizes and using them under false pretence.

sounds like it came from houston texas and then you claim it in the uk—SCAM—you can only win something if you had entered the lotto there in the first place—did you? did you pick the numbers and such

No dont believe any emails you get from people you dont know they are all scams of some sort I have received several like that and I reply telling them to leave me the hell alone.

I win a couple million at least twice a day from lottery’s all over the world.

I had something like this happen to me about 2 years ago. This actually came from Las Vegas. Allegedly I’d won a cool million. Funny this is, I have never been to Vegas in my life. Nor do I recall participating in any type of lottery. So, I dismissed it as junk mail and went about my merry little way. :) SCAMMERS! :)

Congratulations, you took a slam from spam-man!!!!

report the scam to scambusters….though its too bad our laws can’t touch them here from the states to another country, I would’ve been filthy rich by now!!! LOL….but there are many countries out there that are trying their hardest to crack down on these malicious scammers!!! It’s hard for them to in some cases for they are promoting outside their countries, the only way they’re going to be able to track them down is for people like you and me to report them….Good Luck!
