I replied to this mail & sent my personal info for verification. Thereafter, i received another mail stating that i will have to pay them 563.00 as shipment charges & i can contact mr. micheal roberts (mobile no: 919819060830) who is the indian representative from the courier company (scarlet couriers). I was just about to pay the shipment charges when i searched on google about it & thanx to the info i found on google about these scams & fraudulent mails that people have been receiving.
I got alerted instantly & stopped replying to any such mail from scarlet couriers or UK National Lottery.
Thanx once again.
