The scammer here claims to represent the "British Lottery", and says that I have "won" £710K.

The email contains a raft of spelling and grammatical errors, and is clearly not written by a Brit.

The scammer then signs off "British National Lottery", using a different company name.

Oh, one more thing, there is no such thing as "The British Lottery", or "The British National Lottery".

Another fake lottery win has dropped into my mailbox today.

This one claims to be based in the Netherlands, yet used the logo of the British National Lottery in the original mail.

How stupid do they think I am?

Needless to say, it is utter bollocks.

If you receive one, throw it away.
