Complaint Review: British National Lottery Headquarters

Please, please don't be fooled into sending your info! Any e-mail requesting your 'Name, Age, Address, Occupation, Telephone No. and Winning Email Address' to be e-mailed to them are 99.99% for sure fraudsters.

If it sounds to good to be true.... it usually is. Sorry, but that is a fact of life, deal with it. I have seen this same e-mail sent to numerous people with the exact same reference numbers. Just the e-mail addresses and names differ. Example below:
