This is a follow-up email to a Lottery/Prize Winning Scam. The telephone/fax numbers appear to be genuine UK numbers, but the address of 72 Buckingham Palace Road is used in many scams, and has a totally incorrect postcode.
You will notice that the prize money cannot simply be claimed, but involves an Affiliated Legal Practitioner/Attorney, and a Courier company. There is also a deadline for receiving the money.
The deadline is designed to make the recipient of the email act quickly, without stopping to think about whether this might just be fake. The Attorney and Courier company are there to require fees.
There is no prize money. Just those fees to be paid, for absolutely nothing in return.
