I received an email of british national lottery that i am a winner,Now how do i know this is correct or not
Laurie
I am holding such winning amount declaration however Bankers require 600 British Sterling Pounds from me to transfer funds. Or they want me to send that amount to some individual in UK.
Marc
I did a survey that entittled me to ten free tickets but didnt pay enough attention to were or when or with whom. Is it even legal for Australians to enter international lottery?Of course l have won but am confused as delivery is via Greyhound Express Couriers. Are they scammers also?
