However, they did not send this email and they are not going to give you \u00a0 \u00a3250,000. The claim that they are giving \u00a0money to total strangers based on random selections from an email database is utter nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the email is an advance fee scam designed to trick \u00a0you into sending your money and personal information to online criminals.<\/p>\n<p>If you contact the criminals, who will continue to pose as \u00a0Gerry &amp; Lisa, they will claim that you will need to send money to cover various obligatory fees before your &#8220;donation&#8221; can be processed. They will insist that these fees must be paid in advance and cannot be deducted from the supposed \u00a0 \u00a3250,000 donation.<\/p>\n<p>If you comply and send money, further requests for money will likely follow. When they have taken as much of your money as they can, the criminals will simply disappear. It is very unlikely that will see any of the money \u00a0you sent ever again. Nor, of course, will you ever receive the promised \u00a0 \u00a3250,000, which the criminals never \u00a0had to give you in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>And, to make matters worse, during the course of the scam, the criminals may have managed to collect a lot of your personal and financial information. They may later use this information to steal your identity.<\/p>\n<p>Advance fee <a title=\"Neil Trotter Lottery Win Advance Fee Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/neil-trotter-advance-fee-lottery-scams.shtml\">scammers often use the names and details<\/a> of <a title=\"Dave and Angela Dawes Advance Fee Lottery Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/dave-angela-dawes-advance-fee-scam.shtml\">real lottery winners<\/a> as a means of making their \u00a0stories sound more plausible.
