I received e-mail stating that I had won on a lottery in the UK. Told to contact an attorney to verify the winning ticket, then to contact the Nationwide Bank and Security to open an account so the bank draft could be deposited then transfered to my account in the US. As you can probably guess, the e-mails were all a scam, the UK lottery does NOT tell you in an e-mail the amount that you have won, and the bank will NOT open an account without more than an e-mail for verification. This scam asks for some personal information like your Driver's license number and information about your spouse. I hate to be suspicious, but this is just one of I don't know how many scams that I have encountered on the net just this year alone.
