   I just recieved this email. It looks quite believable, however I was suspicious about being offered something for nothing especially as I never entered any draws.

   Thanks for publishing this email scam. Very helpful!

   Cheers I also got same but thanks to my son he said it was a scam. Thought it was boafide as they said they could post cheque so I thought theyy don’t really want my bank account details. Alas they prob want my detail for an identity scam.

   Hi, got this e mail yesterday and replied with my name and tel no as seemed quite believable as did not ask for bank details. Then I led and worried about it all night!! Only gave my name, tel no and occupation so need I be concerned?? Had another e mail today asking for my address etc which I have reported as phishing scam. Is my identity safe??
   Well done for making people aware of these idiots!

    Hi I completed this-how I now feel lik a fool! I was wary but as it said it would send a cheque I went along with it as normally e-mail scams go straight to my junk folder however this went to inbox. I didn’t give bank details but gave name and address to send cheque what should i do about ths?

    Thanks

    Hi, Seemed a very convincing letter but it aroused my suspicion with the address in’Woodgreen” that has always been’Wood Green’
    and a postcode for SE1 which is South London.
    I used to live near the areas listed.
    I googled the address and found your very welcome site.
    Well done for publishing these scams but don’t you think the police should do something about this?. Especially as there is a phone number to get hold of the creep.
    Keep up the good work.
