Please beware of scammers, there are many different types of scam being perpetrated. If an offer looks to good to be true it almost certainly is. You will not have won a lottery that you have not entered, and if you have been fortunate enough to win a lottery prize you will not be asked to part with money before your winnings are released.
Recently there have been a number of scams involving the Internet and TV, whereby scammers get their targets to allow them to access their computers remotely, once this is achieved your data is no longer safe.
The perpetrators of these crimes are extremely clever, a victim who realised they had been scammed and refused to divulge the last three numbers of their account / pin number was then contacted by another person claiming to be from “British Intelligence” who stated he could recover their money if they had the details she had just refused to give to the scammers. The telephone number she was given to contact “British Intelligence” was of course another known number used by scammers.
