We’ve had a lot of questions asking about the British Lottery International email scam “I just received an email from “British Lottery International? advising a lottery number Can you help?” Yes, we can help. We can tell you this: any email you get advertising British Lottery So don’t be taken in. The best way to avoid Internet scams is to not see them in the first place! Recommended reading:
which so many folks are receiving. It seems that with the Katrina scams starting to wane,
the British Lottery International scam is picking up steam again. The questions always
run along the lines of this one:
had been assigned to my email address and I had won a large amount of money. I was
given a web site and person name to contact to start the process of collecting the money.
I am assuming this is a scam but would like to verify.
International, even if it seems like it could be true because it is targeting you
specifically (and that’s what it is, targeting) is a scam. Period. In fact, it is really just
a variation on all the 419 scams out there.

I got an e-mail from the British lottery International claiming that I have won $500,000.They told me to get in contact with Mr. Rex Mcarthy,director of finance(rexmcarthy0002@yahoo.com)That man got me in contact with Courier Net Delivery Department(Mr. George Benson,e-mail:couriernet_international@yahoo.com,phone:+44 703 190 5707)I didn’t send them yet my contact information.I want to know if I really won?
Comment by Gogu ionut lucian — 10/14/2005 @ 5:33 am
There easy ways to identify scam mail.
1) The “To” address is not to you. You were emailed on the BCC: list.
2) The sender’s address is a public throw-away address, such as hotmail, msn, yahoo, etc.
Comment by Gerry — 10/15/2005 @ 7:33 am
We too recieved an email from the British Lottery International stating that we won 2,500,000 US. We were told to contact Dr. Rex Mcarthy to collect our winnings. We haven’t given any of our information out and decided to check it out for “scam” material. It seems unlikely to me that so many people could have won such a large amount of money with no strings attached. Usually, there is some time of puplicity stunt to boot. Thanks for making this site so we could read other people’s comments.
Comment by Pauline — 10/15/2005 @ 1:29 pm
Rex Mcarthy claimed he was trying to overcome impersonaters and if I
contacted the alleged bank he would make certain I got my winnings even if he used his own money…his spelling is ridiculous.

Hi, I received an email from the Bristish Lottery International. Unfortunately, I gave them my information before I came across this website. What can I do now?
Comment by Anonymous — 10/17/2005 @ 12:24 pm
Thank god I thought about doing a little research on the Bristish Lottery International before sending an email to the “agent” Mr, Smith Gerald. I also received two emails from them saying that I have won US$2,500,000. When I received the first email I just didn’t care, but when I got the second one I started to think that this could be true– They are really tricky. Since I’m an international student studying in America, my financial matters are major concerns in my current life. I thought maybe I really won this huge amount of money and could make my family back in my home country extremely happy…
Well, things like these DO NOT happen that easily. Be very careful with these wicked fellows!!!

Comment by DEREK OSBORNE — 10/19/2005 @ 3:24 am
I just sent an email to Mrs. Carol Parker, carolparker00@gmail.com, with information about me! What do I do now?! I should’ve checked this site earlier… How stupid can you get?
Comment by Anonymous — 10/19/2005 @ 5:58 am
My thought has always been that you have to ENTER a contest/lottery before you would have a chance of winning anything, so I’ve just been deleting those emails ever since I got the first one a couple years ago, because I’ve never entered a British lottery, and have never been to Britain. Just using what little “common sense” I have.

SAME PROBLEM.MR NIGEL GARSIDE SHORTHALL SEND ME THE SAME E-MAIL THAT I HAVE WON A TOTAL SUM OF US 2,500,000.00 US DOLLARS. I AM NOT SENDING MY DETAILS.

Fro Jack Carter and was adviced to contact a company called fivestar to make arrangements for the mailing, when I did recieve this information they wanted me to send them 499. for the processing fee. I’m deleting all of this info, Thank you for your information on this site.
Comment by sassy — 10/20/2005 @ 11:39 am
I was originally contacted by Richard K. Lloyd be email and was told I won $1.5 mil American. I blew it off 2 times before someone different emailed me a claim form which I looked at further. The spelling was off and the boxes to fill in winning number info. didn’t match up. I did some more research and found this web site. Thank God.
Comment by Dick — 10/21/2005 @ 5:15 am
thanks for your info!!!
Comment by Gnups — 10/22/2005 @ 5:20 am
well, i just did a stupid thing by replying to this British Lottery International’s agent Mr ESIMA CHRISTOPHER as directed to me.But then your website came to my aid when i wanted to know its authenticity.I am waiting for the next action by them.Thanks for alerting me.
Comment by anil — 10/23/2005 @ 6:11 am
I recieved an e-mail from British Lottery International, saying that I won $2,500,000.00. It was very convincing. So I sent some of my information and told them that they could just send the check. Now i recently recieved a second letter to contact a Mr. Malcolm Williamson of Yorkshire Bank Plc, who is in charge of payment for lottery winners.
Timothy Cromwell is the person who is writing to me.
I also tried to find the address of the bank, but to no avail.
Please tell before I get excited, if this is for real. The only things I haven’t given up is my social security and bank card numbers and I have no plans in giving that up.

I received a Lottery Scam and gave the Scammer phoney information. The Scammer had a working Fax No. so I drew a pretty picture of a Penis and faxed it to them and then I emailed them and told them to rub the picture three times at which time it would turn into a real Penis that they could Kiss, Suck or just play with. In parting I told them that I wish Adolf Hitler and his Henchmen were still alive to light up the ovens once more to exterminate the likes of them.

A fourth grader could have done this. I am sorry to those of
you who have done it. However, for the most part you
shouldn’t of given them any kind of important info. The most
you gave them is your address and telephone number. Big
Whoop. No, SSN or anything like that, credit card numbers.

efes????
Comment by Yasser — 11/8/2005 @ 12:07 am
Some more details to look out for. These people are scum, I hope they get life in prison when they are caught!
Almost everyone could use that kind of cash and I can see it would be so easy for a lot of people to get sucked into that kind of thing on the promise of a better life style. these people have no right to play around with peoples emotions in such a way, never mind the actual fraud they are commiting.

I to have received the letter. Being in need of money, I almost went ahead with it. I did send my passport photo and drivers license pics. How much can they do with this info? When they asked for money, I told them to take it out of my winnings or send me the check and I would send them their part. Let me know how much trouble I can be in.

Comment by brian — 11/11/2005 @ 5:08 am
Well, I, too, got all excited when I thought I had actually won 1.5 million dollars…I received an email from Richard K. Lloyd saying I had won the British Lottery and to contact an agent. I sent this agent an email, who sent me a prize claim form. At this point I really began to get suspicious. I had not given them any bank info or soc security numbers (and I’m glad I didn’t!) I decided to look up British Lottery and found this website. I’m glad I did! Now I can see that many people are being contacted, and this must be a scam. Shame on these guys for preying on unsuspecting, hopeful people (we could all use a little extra cash). I hope they get caught!
Comment by Nita — 11/12/2005 @ 11:52 am
I too got this email today but with a bit of a different twist. I was told I was being awarded 500,000 pounds sterling. I immediately suspected a scam, and began looking for a site to tell me what was up, through yahoo.com.
Folks, anyone with a throw away address like gmail.com, or yahoo.com, or such like that should be immediately suspect. If they are sincere, they would be using a business email address. I know how easy it is to get caught up in the money thing, but folks, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is! C’mon folks, open your eyes!! Don’t get taken by these scammers! They don’t deserve our hard earned money. And too, why should you have to PAY them something to WIN something? That is just ABSURD!

I TOO GOT THE SAME EMAIL THAT I WON 1.5 MILLION AND WAS GIVEN A CONTACT PERSON NAMED,ROBIN VAN JOL. I CALLED HIM AND GAVE HIM THE INFORMATION HE NEEDED WHICH IS REF.#,TICKET#,FULL NAME,TELEPHONE # AND EMAIL ADDRESS. HE RESPONDED BY ASKING ME TO CALL AGAIN TO GIVE HIM DETAIL INFORMATION THAT HE PROVIDED. I THE NUMBER AND HE ANSWERED THE PHONE, I DID NOT GIVE HIM ANY OF MY OWN PERSONAL INFORMATION AND I AM NOT PLANING TO GIVE HIM ANY INFORMATION REGARDING ME. IT ALSO MADE ME THINKING WHEN HE ANSWER THE PHONE HE DOES NOT ANSWER THE WAT A BIG COMPANY SHOULD ANSWER,THAT IS WHEN I LOOKED FOR A WAY TO VERIFY VALIDITY AND FOUND YOUR WEB SITE. I’M GLAD I DID EVEN THOU I KNEW IT WAS A FRAUD.

I’m from Malaysia. I’m receive an email from British Lottery International (Mr Anulog Chamoli)and Yorkshire Bank (Mr. Malcolm Williamson). I’m also sent my information. Please let me know how they could use my information. please….
Comment by Danny Harris — 11/21/2005 @ 6:31 pm
i recieved the exact same email as #52, with all the exact same numbers. the only difference being mine was from a JONATHAN BROOKS and it looked pretty legitimate being from a yahoo.co.uk address.I’m glad I looked into it unfortunately after sending my information. I would think that yahoo would allow something like that to go through simply because it reflects back on their name.

I recieved the same e-mail, but the email account is on a certain Richard cole and the email is signed by a certain Mr Alex Banks, I responded the email by asking what is this competition that I won. Hope I didn’t do somthing bad.

Here’s something interestiong I got a ton of those e-mails all in one week and they were all from the UK British lottery, but a couple of them say that they are sponcered by companies like Microsoft and Dell so to me that seemed weird that they would use the names of big brand companies. Not only that I did enter into freelotto.com a while back and thats what they called themselfs but I went to the free lotto web site and they had a fraud alert for people useing their name. So I don’t know what to think, I just know it doesn’t cost $650.00 to send me a check.

I received the same email From British International Lottery. Because I didn’t give to them my bank information or credit card, they said my chech was sent to ABC Courier in Englalnd and then came a letter with all fees about delivery charges.
But one of the letter the guy from African Development Bank, sent me a copy of his Id , so I’ll send this to FBI and Interpol.

I also received an e-mail from the ‘British International Lottery’ and was not taken in by them, in part because of this web, so thank you to everyone who has contributed to the site. I also took the liberty of sending the following e-mail to the yahoo support help center:
“Dear Yahoo Staff,
There is an internet scam running under the guise of the ‘British Lottery International’, telling people that they have won $2.5 million dollars american. There is a webpage warning people of this scam (http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/british-lottery-international-internet-scam/), and many of the complaints included messages stating that the original ’scam message’ came from a yahoo address. These ’scam’ email addresses include: m_ronin09@yahoo.co.uk, s_wallace90@yahoo.co.uk,
reeorderr@yahoo.co.uk,
malcolm_williamson01@yahoo.co.uk
hogephills@yahoo.co.uk,
donaldmeyer_sonicbv@yahoo.co.uk,
uklotterysyndicate2005@yahoo.com,
claimsprocessingunit@yahoo.co.uk,
infodiegostefani1@yahoo.com,
claimsunit44@yahoo.co.uk.
Just wanted to alert you that these emails are being used for illegal and insidious purposes.
Thank you for your attention.”
Hopefully this might make a difference. Does anyone have any ideas on exactly what the purpose of this scam is (obviously they are trying to have people send them ‘fees’ to ‘cover taxes’, but are they also trying to use information to get into people’s bank accounts, or make fake ID’s?) or any ideas on how to catch them? People like this make me sooo angry… wouldn’t it be great if we could find them, and sue them for out ‘lottery winnings’? THAT would be a wake up call for them? Maybe then they wouldn’t bother us again… or anyone else for that matter. Oh, and the ‘penis fax’ is priceless. If there’s any further information anyone can send me, please email me at eowyn_shieldmadien_ofrohan@yahoo.ca. Unless you’re a scam artist. Then just please pass go, do not collect $200 (or any other amount of money), and go directly to jail. :)
Let’s bring these guys down.
Mara.

Just got the same mails, called the phone number to verify it as I did not believe it. Spoke to someone who assured me that it was not a joke. Bastard! I could really do with the money right now. Going to follow on with it, maybe catch them at their own game. Wish me luck.

I have also received mail that I have won 25,000,000GBP at first I was very excited but later on after they had given me the courier company to contact and they insisted I give them money for shipment, I suspected foul play. I wrote back to the so called Agent and told him that if this thing is genuine then why are they asking for money from me, the shipment money is very little compared to the so called prize, why don’t they deduct from the prize, they are crafty people, dont give in to their demands.
I have to thank you for this site because this morning I thought that I could find something on the internet to guide me, thanks a lot, you have saved me alot.
