SCAM: BRITISH LOTTERY WINNING NOTIFICATION

Please beware of this email. They keep on sending this scam and at first they won't ask you anything but if you will follow the process they will ask you to pay for the taxes before they are going to send your winning. Come to think of it, no one wins unless he/she bets on something. Help stop online scam and delete emails like this below once you receive them. If you didn't purchase tickets online then it's too impossible for you to win just for the reason that your email is attached to some unidentified online ticket. It's a crap!
