[sweeney todd 10]

My partner as just had a email from camelot group p.l.c. saying that she has won in a draw a share of money ,£422,983.She as not entered any competitions or given her email address to Camelot.the email tells her to contact a George Smith with her name, age and address to claim her money. Has anyone else had this kind of email.Thanks.

course its a scam. how can you win something that you havent entered into

There was an item on the radio news about this.

When you contact the named person they are asking for your bank details.

The Police say it's a scam and are wanting people to contact them if anyone get's any emails or phone calls from the said person.

Hope this helps you

My bf's friend (elderly man) got an email saying he had won 1.2 million dollars, he believed it, it went on for some time, he gave them bank details and all sorts, then they said they wanted £1300 for the transfer fee! lol he even had a chinese woman email him saying she worked for micro soft and that if he let her daughter live with him in the uk she would pay the transfer fee lol, they will try owt, i think its a cruel scam, waving life changing amounts under ya nose, but i must say , you'd have to be brain dead to fall for them, like my late father used to say " ya dont get owt for nowt" and its so true
