I've received a letter saying I've won the Spanish lottery NOT and all they want are my bank details, do they think we came down in the last shower.
What I want to know is there anywhere that you can report it before I consign it to the bin where it belongs

i think there is a fraud squad in london that look into these things you could call scotland yard and ask. its worth a try the more people who report this kind
of thing the more gets done about it or you could send it to watchdog at the BBC they always want to know about this sort of thing. I keep getting emails
saying that I have won the Great British lottery. and the emails supposidly from my bank, none of which I have an account with. Unfortunately some people are
not as clued up about these things and they are the people i really feel sorry for.

Hi Nancy - so you're not going to fly all of us out to the Bahamas for a fortnight then?
Might be worth having a look at this site http://www.met.police.uk/computercrime/ J |

I was stopped in the street once (or twice actually!) by a woman asking me to take part in a survey on travel and holidays and in return I might win a holiday.
Well I love my holidays and have travelled a bit so I thought why not..............................
There was a problem when she found out I wasn't married and I wasn't allowed to participate afterall. Can anyone tell me why??????????????????????? Jx |

If it was for a survey joyce they tend to only want married people preferably with kids cos " only married people are normal and avarage buy washing
powder food holidays etc . If your not married disabled etc then your not the norm and don't do anyof the above . I know I used to work for a survey
company and they definitely worked on that principle. Also if there were holidays to be won it would have been a holiday for two and if you were not married
they would assume that you would need a room for one and wouldn't be prepared to pay a single iccupancy suppliment.
Sorry Joyce but thats the way the surveys work lb |

I've had soooooooooooooooooooooo many of these lately. To be honest I think if they were all true I'd be able to afford to take all the Sheenies to the
Create and Craft Experience at the Hilton!!! Needless to say this all get blocked if they try to send me further e-mails.
