Not content with offering me untold millions if only I'll give various widows of Nigerian chiefs my bank details, I've been heartened to find I've just won $850,000 in TheLotter, a Benelux all-lotteries website, through the happy chance of just simply being picked at random, even though I have never heard of the site.

The e-mail's good, because thelotter.com DOES exist as a legal and proper website, but if you go to FAQs and look under 'is it a scam?' the answer is an unequivocal 'yes'. The web actually says that scammers have managed to do a pretty good job of appearing to represent them, but that any fortune obtained through non-participation is too good to be true.

So, dear forumites, I'm afraid the come-one-and-all hooley briefly envisaged for Cheltenham, Aintree, Epsom, Sha Tin and Dubai will have to be put on the back burner for a wee bit longer...
