Stupid Punts!

As the run up to Christmas continues, the fake lottery scams are coming thick and fast now.

Doubtless the authors are hoping to dupe the financially naive into thinking that they have had a lucky pre Christmas piece of good fortune.

Should you receive one of these, do not waste your time responding; it is a fake, designed to trick you out of money for "processing" your claim.
