scam email

[scottishlass]

I just received an email telling me I had won £500,00.00 on the Yahoo/MSN lottery.

Don't laugh but I was getting all excited about it,then came down to earth and realise it would be a scam.

Has anyone else had one of these

Re: scam email

Did they ask you to send them an arrangement fee or similar?

Re: scam email

These scams have been around in paper format for some years. Now they appear on the internet regularly, I get at least one per month.
