    I'm STRONGLY assuming that it is another scam, however...this is the first time I've ever seen this one, and being that it was/is SUPPOSEDLY based in the UK...I thought I would go straight to the source!!!!

    BTW...4,000,000 pounds would be approximately 7,000,000 usd??????

    Anyway...here it is...

    Exactly!!!!

    Wasn't sure but, kind of what I thought!!

    Besides that...I've always thought that if it seems to good to be true...then, most likely...IT IS!!!!

    Hmm the main office is a walk away from me in Liverpool, strange that Richards addy would be Tiscali and not the Lotterys own server? This is a scam as far as i can see..I may take a copy of this into their office and see what they say. :)

    The Lottery would notify you by phone, and you will have had to pay a pound or so to get the numbers.

    To be honest Phil, I would take it in as they do like to see what the scams are like, it maybe a new one on them, that as its a Tiscali ISP address as well, they can chat to Tiscali and see if they can find the culprit.

    Whist at Kodak, we tried our best to find out where customers had bought fake film, cameras etc from.

    I got exactly the same one. I sent it to the UK lottery people so that they could set about tracking these people down. (Actually, I was quite excited for a moment, too)
