The British National Lottery sent me an email that I won a lottery. I send to them my account and a copy of my passport. then they required me to submit to them 750 pound. I said that they can deduct from my winning prize. This office received your mail and the content was well noted be informed that for two reason's they are thus unable to deduct from your winning prize as surgested is this dengerous? so is this dengerous? which things...

Go to your bank and take out ALL the money (if it's still there) from the account---you MAY find they already TOOK it----and you will never see it again.... but if NOT... take it out and open a brand new account....this is a scam that has been around since the beginning of the personal computer.... also, YAHOO does NOT HAVE A LOTTERY so if you get any email saying you won a YAHOO LOTTERY... delete that asap as well.

First of all, did you play the lottery? Usually, if you get an unsolicited email most likely it is a Spam. secondly, If you did play the lottery, how would they have information of your email address if lottery applications are anonymous. I would suggest (if you did not give any information prior to winning) is to block and or close your account. They now have the information they need to withdraw funds from them.

1. Call your bank ASAP and tell them what you have done. 2. Never never never give out banking information by phone or on the Internet. 3. I live in the USA and get about 10 of these nuisance items every day THESE ARE SCAMS - NEVER RESPOND TO THEM - DELETE BEFORE OPENING THEM. NEVER EVER SEND ANY MONEY TO THESE SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
