"CITY-LINK EXPRESS" is a label used by a gang in Nigeria for a fake lottery fraud (advance fee fraud, "419"). The UK National Lottery does not award prizes by email address to people who never bought a ticket. Winners do not have to wire cash to a courier service to receive their prize. The objective of the scam is to get victims to wire money to the criminals, hoping to receive the promised but non-existent lottery prize at the end.
Please send us replies by "claims agents", especially money demands and payment instructions, we will publish them here. Please report email addresses of "claims agents" and any other email addresses used in this scam to the free webmail providers (see abuse contact list).
