Okay, so those of you that live in the UK, is there really such a thing? I'm hoping so, cause I just won $5 mil in their lotto!!!! Okay it's probably a scam, but I thought it was an interesting scam....They say I need to go to Saint Helier, Bailiwick of Jersey (a British Crown Dependency), where the frell is that??Do you actually have places named so weirdly (no offense, US has some doosies too)

Anyway I was just curious, I just put it in the folder with the $7mil inheritance email from Barrister Francis Hanna. If they're true, everyone in the forum gets $10K from me...=)

Saint Helier is the main town on the Island of Jersey which is the southernmost part of the British Isles,is near to France and has through hisorical associations many French names and connections.It was also the ONLY part of Britain to be invaded during WW11.It's a got wonderful tax levels that make it an ideal place for milionaires and business's to make it their home base.However you have to be invited to make it your home IF you are not Jersey born and bred.They like to keep the riff raff out.

which exit?..;) sorry, old New York joke..;)

Feck... I get all kinds of Lotto Offers via e-mail all the time.   Very Fake indeed.

If you didn't enter the lotto you can't get no prizes!
This stuff is always fake. To date I've won about £100mil in lottery prizes I didn't enter.

Not much chance of that working out too well. :lol:

Just show them the bryce mobile! they'll know u got class then ;-)

This particular lotto had email addys  selected at random throughout the web....Todd called the Barrister on the other email, and found it was someone that had died and left me $7mil (yeah, right) although it's been awhile since I spoke with relatives in London or Edinburgh, so who know's on that one.....

The next thing they'll want is your bank account number so they can "deposit" your winnings. If you even reply they will know you have an active email address and sell it to all kinds of spam lists.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is!

LOL @ Pakled:

I’m originally from Brooklyn New York. Say…anybody want to buy a bridge?

I got one today from some scottish Lottery :)

I've won about 20 lotteries thus far and am at least a millionaire twice over..There's also someone at ebay who keeps wanting to give me money and all these banks that are under the impression I bank with them and want me to change my online banking details by following a link suppleid by them...

Mind there is one born every minute which is why I keep getting this crap in my inboxes.

Our TV current affairs have hard luck stories on these any time news is slow, steer well clear. With yahoo I mark them as spam. maybe one day they will get sick of not being answered. I only got them since we started online banking by the way !! Jen.
