Hi, I am from Indonesia. I was sent the same email a couple days ago. On the first thought, it was true for me amd i had filled the form but when they asked me to send some money for the cargo fee, i started to investigate it through internet and i found this portal. It helped me a lot to reconsider it. then i realized its just scams. and i think what Prakash said that they might got our details from timesjob.com, is right coz i joined it.

THIS IS A FAKE!
if they havent already they will ask you how you would like paid your winnings.
1. Wired in to your bank account (which means you need to give your bank details) "very risky"
2. you can pick it up in person ( The address they give does not exist)
3. by cheque (a courrier service called Greyhound Express courrier will be forwarded to you who work on a pay before delivery basis. costs vary from £441 and £805 depending on the time line, this courrier service does not exist in england and their address given also does not exist)

forward the emails you recieved to the national lottery fraud squd. you can find the address on the national lottery website. It also states "if you did not purchase a ticket you can not win"

do not click on any of the links given on any of their emails as they can make all your personal details and computer access codes available to the sender of the email.
Do not fall for this scam as you will be very disappointed with the outcome.

hi every one,

I have also received the same mail. and one man contact me over mobile and talk with me his reply is

I got the same email a few days ago saying i had won £860, 000, i thought it was too good to be true so i deleted it, then i got another just the other day saying i had won £555, 000, again i thought this was to good to b true, but then decided to research it, i came across all your comments and that decidedly made my mind up, then i decided i would try phoning the numbers provided, and just as i thought, u dont get through to anyone or the number is no longer in use, i then printed out the email i received and took it to my local police station and asked if they could look into it, as i have a friend there they got right to it, and again just i thought its all rubbish! its a FRAUD! its greedy ### trying to take poor peoples money so they can live the life of luxury! while we try and get ourselves out of this recession. Anyone getting these emails just think for a moment, if its too good to be true, then it probably is! be safe people! not stupid!
