Iam receiving a mail from a Lottory firm in london , saying that I have won a lottory of Rs/- 40,000000. After that I have received a mail saying to deposit 35,000 into one of a bank account so that they will release my prize winning money. Any suggest

I sounds like another version of the Nigerian Letter scam that has been aound the net for years. It's very dangerous; google it and see.

SPAM!!!! Me, my wife, my two sisters, my 15 year old son, my nephew, my friends all won the same lottery, probably on the same day. Either that is one hell of a coincidence, or it is a scam.

Wow, aren't you lucky winning a lottery you never entered?!?! I would pass it along to the authorities because it is a total scam.

ooooooeeeee, don't get boondoggled.
this is reeking scam. if it sounds to good to be true..., then it is.
don't do it.

It is a scam. If you never entered a lottery, you probably are asking for trouble if you respond. They will ask you for a bank account number and routing number. Then they will use that information to clean out your account instead of depositing the winnings.

They have also been known to ask you for fees related to so called attorneys and deposit wires and such. It is simply best to block them from sending you future emails, delete them and never ever give out any personal information. PS: Unless you are physically there, the legality of overseas lotteries needs to be questioned too.

i think it's a fake thing.....
i too have received an email from "CITIC BANK OF CHINA"
that my mail id has been selected for some cash prize..
for further clarifications u just search that site/
lottery company in the google hopefully u'll find an ans....

Do not do it!!! I have received 3 saying about the same thing.I researched the companies on the internet and also researched the phone numbers.Do not deposit anything in your bank account.Usually if anyone has won a lump sum like that they would personally come and congradulate you for your good fortune.Do your research first.

It's a SCAM, don't even open the e-mail when you see that stuff.
I receive 5 of those a DAY!
DELETE!!

If you didn't enter the lottery you didn't win any money! Report it to the police cause it's one of those scams they keep talking about on the news.

Yes...........CALL THE POLICE............do not reply at all to them! It is a scam.......scam....scam...

Scam ... report it ... there is no such thing as a legitimate lottery that charges fees to release money ... there is only the sale price of the lottery ticket ...

... either ignore them totally, or reply to them saying that you doubt their authenticity and ask them to mail you an actual registered letter with their own saliva used to seal the envelope and that DNA testing and finger printing will be done, and if they are legitimate, then their prints and DNA will be in a database to confirm they are who they claim to be. Do this, and they will stop bothering you.

Throw it in the bin. I'm a postman near London and I delivered around ten of those letters to one street the other day !!!

one word SCAM

This is a scam. They will say they'll release the money after you pay certain taxes and fees. Once you do, you'll find they either never send anything or they send a coutnerfeit check. The bank will initially accept the check for deposit but it will be returned as counterfeit. If you didn't enter a lottery, you can't win. And a lottery will never, ever charge taxes and fees.

Even though this is a scam, the local authorities can't do anything, as this is an international crime and lies outside their jurisdiction. Your best bet is to go to www.ic3.gov, the Federal Tade Commission's website for fraud. Report the mail to them so they can gather information on where this originated.

And needless to say, do NOT accept anything or send any money to these people.

Report them to your local authorities. It's a scam!
