STREET WISE COURIER Ltd is One of the good courier companies in UK, But Lottery scheme company is using the same name and Internet ID's is different. This is a irregularity in UK as it becomes a issue. Though we complaint on this sight such email are still coming. I think the person who has opened the sight should take up the matter to avoid any mishaps
all these such emails are nothing but spam
they first tel you to pay money after they gt money they will not even bother to reply you
so never reply this kind of message !!
think before you do this kinda things

I totally disagree with this Lottery System as I too received this few days back. To find out the reality, I sent back the details and this person, Mr. Antony called me up saying, he has come all the way from UK to Delhi, from an Airtel No.[protected]Delhi) and asked me if I could deposit the Rs. 35, 000 for Customs Clearance Charges, for which I made him believe that I agree will make the payment. So he said he will SMS me the ICICI A/c. No.[protected], Account Holder - Vualnam Chinsuanthang) of an Official at the Customs at Delhi. After checking with my banker here, they enquired about the A/c. at ICICI and found that the said person holds an Account, but the cash transaction in this account is only Rs. 3000 monthly as salary and a few months ago Rs. 50, 000 came in and pulled out immediately after it
came in. In between this guy, Antony keeps on calling, asking me if the Cash is deposited so that he can clear the formalities at the Customs ! At last I told him that, my fund balance at the bank is not sufficient to pay Rs. 35, 000, and I do not want the Lottery Prize money of a Whooping 1, 000, 000 British Pound, which converted to INR is Rs, 66, 962, 758.69 !!! So you see some fraud practice here, isn't it ? Please be careful of these people or your hard earned money is gone with the wind !!!

i'm seeing a pattern here - uk companies, arabic names, clearing charges. i got an sms 23:53 GMT, 4 feb, saying i won $3, 000, 000 from an orange international draw. I did follow them up, but i did some research as well. none of the names and addresses they gave me seems to be used by orange (this includes a contact person with some high-ranking title, places, full names of the company, etc.). there seems to be some psychology involved as well, as they tell you to hurry to claim the money otherwise there will be additional charges - so you feel some urgency is involved.
i think a good idea will be to try and find out where the people running this scam is getting your details. this could be by stealing databases of large companies, like facebook, yahoo webmail, universities, banks, etc. i know it could be one of these companies, because they are among the few that have my phone number.
another thing is that they don't really use formal language in their emails, and they use webmail accounts that can be set up without your authentic details, so they cannot be traced really. a real company would use formal language and their own email domain (like [protected]@orange.com), as these can be used as proof in court. i also noticed spelling mistakes in their emails, and the usual disclaimer at the end of the email is missing.
another thing is that they ask for not a too big sum of money, so they could possibly get away with it.
well anyway, this is a pretty sneaky scam though.
