After this all email still i not satisfied so finally i send the this all email attachment to official website o[censored]K National Lottery Customer Care Team add '[protected]@national-lottery.co.uk' and finally i got the satisfactory reply which is below for your all reference

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your email dated 18 May 2011.

I would like to advise you that the email you have received is in no way connected with Camelot or The National Lottery.

Camelot are aware that there are many organisations that attempt to obtain payment or personal details electronically from people under a variety of pretexts. The National Lottery and indeed other lotteries are sometimes falsely used as part of these scams. It appears that some of these organisations are based overseas, often targeting people resident abroad.

Please be aware that there are many e-mail scams and attempts to de-fraud people using methods similar to these, and I would warn strongly against pursuing this type of e-mail without rigorous investigation to establish whether it is of a genuine nature.

At The UK National Lottery, we do not contact any player who has won a prize by unsolicited letter, email or telephone call. Nor do we ask for up-front fees or personal information.

To be eligible to win a prize on The UK National Lottery players must have placed an initial stake, either at a retailer or at www.national-lottery.co.uk. Additionally, Camelot has strict procedures, as agreed with our regulator, the National Lottery Commission, for informing players via email who have won a prize on The UK National Lottery via our new media channels.

The Metropolitan Police or the Gaming Board of Great Britain regards some pay-to-claim lotteries as being fraudulent. If you would like further information, please contact the Metropolitan Police by email: fraud.[protected]@met.police.uk.

I hope the above information has been helpful. You can find further information on our security advice on the following page of our website by copying and pasting the following web address into your browser:
