I have gotten a few emails saying that i won 500,000 GBP or $900,000 USD.The email says that the UK Lottery picked email to be a winner.I find it very hard to believe the emails.So emailed them back & told them i need preove from you.So they said in 4 bussiness days.They will send me a check for $12,000.Has anyone else gotten the same kind of email?If so what should i do?

Did you play the UK lottery?
If NOT… then use your COMMON SENSE.
If you did, then call the lottery people to confirm.
And… YES, I’ve gotten the same email.. and I’m in Japan!!
Hit the delete button. If they call, tell them to send a check.
Welcome to the club. It’s rather astonishing to win a lottery for which you have not purchased a ticket. This scam seems to be making the rounds – only they don’t ask you for money. They ask you for personal information instead. Lots of it. Like your driver’s licence number, your birthdate, address, phone number, name of a guarantor — it’s almost as though they were collecting enough personal information to put together a fraudulent passport and sell it to someone for big bucks. But that’s probably just my suspicious mind.
Let us know if you receive a check (one that doesn’t bounce) for the $12,000. But please, don’t send all your personal information to them. That’s enough stuff to build fraudulent credit cards, and guess who’ll get the bill?
The next thing they’re going to do is tell you to contact a courier that will send you your “winnings”. That’s where they take your money. They’ll ask you to pay for shipping, but there is no “courier”. Don’t do it, it’s a scam.
It’s a scam. You can’t win a lottery you didn’t enter. Go to for more info.
