The following is a copy of the email received inviting us to take part in the UK National Lottery. They are very careful to not ask for paying something first in order for us to get involved — just email back to them or call by phone or fax. Please read the "NOTE: " at the end of their email. We would be happy to be "disqualified!"
How can we stop this kind of emails? Thanks! ALW
