Yes these are both scams.

Here is the most important question to ask yourself with these emails:

Did I enter a lottery? If you did not enter one how could you possibly win one?

Hi,

I received the same emails last week and today. I even phoned the bloke and he assured me the cheque was on his desk. He just needed the same info as he requested from you.

Ahh well it was a nice thought while it lasted.
