Oddly, I'm currently in NZ using a NZ sim card, (and don't have a key for the pound symbol, which was actually used in the message I received), so why I would expect to win a UK lottery I'm not sure. I did buy the phone in the UK, and whatsapp uses my UK number, so whether it somehow came through that or something I don't know?

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
