British online lottery
Lottery Scam

Dear Sir,

I got a mail on 22nd May announcing, that I

won a lottery. They asked me to forward my personal details as well as contact details which I unknowingly did. Also they asked me to contact Mr. Allan White (from SWIFT Courier). I was asked to transfer the Amout (British Pounds) to claim the prize money. Later I came to know that, free online lottries are scams which later land us to offences with which we are not at all connected at all and I came to know that with viruses like Torzon & Spyware our e-mail accounts are hacked and this happened.

So I formally request, my e-mail accounts should not be hacked & I should not be indulged in any of the crimes commenced on these sites.

I have pasted the mails that have came to my e-mail account & I hope proper action would be taken against it.

Please do mail me as soon as possible:-

This company declined reverse payment for these charges, stating that it is against their professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the cheque to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the cheque since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing. With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out.

Note: that your prize is protected by a hardcover insurance policy, which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from the money before it has been remitted to you. This means that the above charges cannot be deducted from the prize and hence must be provided by you before your prize is transferred to you.

This is in accordance with section 13 (1)(n) of the national gambling act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3RD july 1996 by the constitutional assembly. This is to protect winners and to avoid misappropriation of funds.

Send your response to indicate your option within the next 24hrs, because you only have 6 days to claim this cheque and after this period, your cash prize will be deemed to have been forfeited by you and will be reused in the drawings of the next edition of the lottery.

Good luck and Congratulations once again. Please send your response within the next 24hrs to enable us expedite action on your parcel. We are glad to be of service to you.

Regards,

Mr. Allan White
