If you received an e-mail similar to this, it certainly is a scam:
http://www.internet-secrets.org/nigerian-2004-08-16.htm

I myself have received quite a few of these lottery scam mails ...
from the Swiss lottery, various Arabian lotteries, the United Kingdom,
etc. Needless to say that all of them were typical so-called Nigerian
Scams. Real lotteries don't notify their winners in such a ridiculous
way.

Don't fall for such scams. No one, I'm afraid, gives away lottery
prizes through the Internet to people who haven't even bought a
ticket.

Well, well

The address checks out as a valid post code

The mobile number replies 'calls to this number are barred'
(possibly because I used 141 to conceal caller number
 - nope - tried it again without 141 - same result)

The land line number is a Fax

A pity because I was fully expecting to hear the indeciferable accent
of a Nigerian 'guyman' on the other end, I fancied a laugh.

However if that is not a Nigerian 419 advanced fee fraud, then Saddam
Hussein is the secret head of Al Quaeda, and George Bush is really
Shirley Temple in drag.
