    Only the foolish, the naive and the greedy think that ANYONE would pick an email address at randoim and you win a ridiculaous amount of money.

    With these scams you are soon required to provide bank details and make a payment to 'receive' your winning...which -- after making a payment -- you will NEVER see...Of course.

    Delete as soon as you get them!

    Hello

    Sadly this is a scam started within the Yahoo Directory.

    Please report as spam and junk mail and delete it.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention

    All the best

    You 'spam' them? What do you mean by that exactly? Replying to spam emails lets them know that your email address is active, so you're bound to get more.

    These are bogus. The UK lottery does not know any names - you can only claim a prize if you present a winning ticket. Ignore these emails

    Any email you get telling you that you have won money in a competition that you haven't even entered is a con. Just delete them.
