'I don't believe it!'

My wife dies last week and the next week I'm a millionaire(well almost)!

Life isn't fair, is it? Think what we could have done with all that money if she was alive and well. Now it's no use to me.

It's a letter from the Peoples Postcode Lottery, which is a genuine organisation. The letter looks good, lots of ID numbers,Audit numbers, addresses, phone number(0203).
The addresses don't match, the phone numbers don't match, they're acting through a UK company, UK Security Solution Agents(Government-licenced!!!) as the draw was held in Madrid??

It's marvellous as I've never bought a ticket. Not only that, I seem to have won three times at once! The PPCL maximum win is £400,000, I've won over twice that!

Of course there's a processing fee to be paid, can be paid straight into my bank account to save time, although they do offer a cheque.I'm sure if I rang they'd suggest a bank transfer.

It's a lovely letter from the President himself, called Baron Wheels, he's so pleased for me. I think that must be a mistype, perhaps it should be Barrow Wheels?

What should I do? The money's no use to me but I could throw a splendid party for us all, have a wake to remember, buy that Aston, world cruise, etc,.

What should I do, what should I do?What do you think?

I can't believe people fall for this but they obviously do or these thieves would't carry on doing it. UK Security Solution Agents is a known scam.
I suppose older people, especially those who haven't got a computer and can't check it out may just feel they have to ring up and then get caught up in a hard sell.

Worst sort of theft, but as the saying goes 'If it sounds too good to be true it probably is'.
