ok, so i got one of those things in my email. it looked pretty professional, and since i'm still obviously young and nieve, i thought it was all legite. but as soon as i read it i replied to the contact, and asked them to email me. since then i have done a little research and found that the scam letters are almost identical to the one i recieved. my good instincts finally kicked in and when they replied i sent them a nasty little message stating something along the lines of this:
To whom it may concern,
i do not wish to participate in the uk-lotto. i understand that this is something like chain mail and i would like to be taken off the mailing list. i do not wish to claim any such prizes from this non-accredited organization. Further actions taken to try and contact me will result in legal action taken against this corporation and the persons affiliated with it. i refuse to volunteer my personal information to an identity theft hoax.
thank you.
i dont think they liked what i said, but i reported the letter just the same.
Stupid Uk-lotto.
