Is this company really exist - The British National Lottery?
It is scam. Yahoo (insert any company name here, this answer works for all!) do not run an email lottery, if they did you could guarantee it would be advertised all over their home page. Check out these links and search answers to see how many people 'win' the exact same lottery every day

Do not click on any links, the page you will be taken to will look authentic but is not


Do not send them a 'courier fee' or any other money


Do not hand over any bank details or passwords





Do report spam


Do delete





Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch. You cannot win a lottery if you haven ot bought a ticket. Anyone can set up an email account with Yahoo, they can use any combination of letters they choose. I could be 'thequeenmother@yahoo.com' or 'disneyfreeticketsgenuine@yahoo.com' That doesn't mean that I am either of these and is fine as long as I don't try to use the address to mislead people. Don't be fooled by legitimate looking email addresses which end the same way as any other free account, don't be fooled by fictitious titles such as 'Dr' or 'Executive Director of Winner Claims'.








(I've answered this question so many times that I now keep this answer on my desktop and just copy and paste....that should give you a clue!)
Reply:I herd it's a scam and that was several years ago
Reply:Its a SCAM..


Think about it.. If you won a Lottery... Anywhere in the WORLD..... Don't you think they would fly you out there so, they can have you on TV and whatever else...


Think about it.. Here in the US.. If anyone wins anything even near a million.. Its all over the newspapers and TV...





There probley going to try and steal your identity or after you fill out Payment Processing.. There going to say please send us (about) $5,000 for the taxes and processing fees...





So, I wouldn't do anything but, just ignore them.. Or write back and say.. Send me the money and I'll send you the info back once I received it..


They will never answer you back.. and I would try and call you Internet provider and tell them about it...





Good luck with everything and let us know what happens...

Reply:Don't believe in any e-mail notification that you have won in a lottery. That's just a scam but the address is real. You might be in a forum and post your email.
Reply:Google L30 1RD and look at the result.I will let you then answer your own question.
