Who wants money, I won the lotto!
So I get a message today that I have won the British Lottery? Funny, I don't remember entering for a lotto in a country which I do not reside? Will I be foolish enough to reply with the information they are requesting from me? I think not.
See message details:

I can not stress enough how bad this may be for you.
