Have you received an email telling you that you have won the UK National Lottery? If so, it is likely that this e mail is a sacam. Sadly these scams are on the increase. We can give you some advice about how to tell whether you have received a sacam email.

Have you bought a ticket? In order to win the UK National Lottery, you have to buy a ticket, either Interactively, via the National Lottery website, mobile phone, or interactive television, for which you need a UK adress, or at a National Lottery retailer. If you have not bought a ticket then you have not won.

Does the email/letter ask you to pay money to receive your prize, or to disclose personal information such as bank details or passport information? If yes, then you have not recived a genuine email/letter fron the National Lottery. The UK National Lottery would NEVER ask you to pay a handling fee to collect yoyr prize, ot to disclose any personal information.
