YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WON THIS YEAR EURO MILLION LOTTERY

Here's the old 'you have won a fantastic lottery prize in a lottery you have never entered' con. First warning (apart from not actually entering the lottery) is that if my specific email address has won the prize why didn't they email it to my email address, but to undisclosed-recipients!

A couple of other notes from a quick glance through it. They ask for the recipient not to mention their win - I expect that's so that anyone falling for it doesn't mention it to other people who might point out it's a con, or even show them their identical email.

The details they ask for appear relatively harmless, just contact details. They then have your email address for certain to sell on to other people, and the scam is likely to unfold with a request for a payment for the transfer fees. Pay them, then never hear from them again.

Remember the lottery saying - you have got to be in it to win it. If you haven't entered, you can't have won. Bin the email.
