I received an Email from a Mr (Dr.) Peterson at the "lottery Board" ([email protected]) indicating that I had won a "Yahoo/MSN online lottery programme" drawing in the October drawings; an estimated 500.000GBP! In order to collect my winnings, I had to forward personal and banking information to Mr. David Roberts (MD), Managing Director of Barclays Bank London, 8 Canada Square, London, UK.
Unfortunately, I did give some information. However, when he requested that I copy/scan my ID card or Passport and send it to him for reference/security purposes and to send 500GBP via Western Union money fransfer to a Mr. James McDavid, British High Court Cashier, at the SAME ADDRESS as Barclays Bank, as processing fees to obtain sworn affidavits and duty stamp, I became VERY suspicious to the point of contemplating contacting the British High Commission Office in my residing country. I plan to follow this up with the British High Commission in my country in the very near future to clear the air in this matter.
