    Email lottery
    British Gambling Union brought out a winning notification of 2 million pounds sterlings. The money was to come to my account by bank draft of royal bank of scotland. The banker landed at mumbai, india and said on phone that he has deposited my bank draft in the reserve bank of india, mumbai. He gave me account of icici of some amit joshi and told me deposit rs.25000 for transaction charges. Can you find out from reserve bank of india, mumbai, whether the draft has been deposited and what charges I have to submit?

    I would not trust them!

    Sounds a lot like the classic Nigerian Phishing scam.

    This is a total SCAM.

    There is NO British Gambling Union and you have fallen for one of the oldest scams going!!

    Did you even enter this "draw".
    Remember if it sounds to good to be true it's most likely a scam.
