The email info@ukasialottery.com alerted me to winnings over more than $2.2 million dollars this morning. I had never heard of the US-Asia National Lottery board, so I looked around online and it turns out that this is a total scam! I feel like such an idiot for wasting my time, but the email seemed legit when you first look at it. It is from the desk of the promotional manager and even has reference and batch numbers attached (those are fake I am sure). Beware of this UK-Asia national lottery Scam! The fake email is attached so you can see if yours matches up…
