First of all congratulations on your new post and may you prosper.

Please I need some assistance urgently.
I have viewed many parts of Skype web pages and don't know where to inquiry or who to cntact!
All I want to know if this Skype message is authentic and is really from Skype or is it just a scam?

Because they are demanding me to pay in advance of 375 pounds sterling for courier services to have hand delivered to me the winning Banker's certified draft.

But I refused and demanded that only on delivery of the winning bank draft and then only then will I pay the courier service of Mr. Allen Thompson, The Customers Relations Officer, Sameday UK Express Couriers Ltd, Thetford, Norfolk IP25 7QN.

If you cannot help me, then I would be gratefull if you could directly as to where I should get information.

Thank you and regards,
Taleb A. Abdulraheem

I have also received such a message; was even given the very same winning lottery number. As I have never won a lottery in my life, I knew it was a fake. Just have to make money the old fashioned way. Skype should put an end to this scam.

I received the message that I have won in the lottery today in the morning.
It says that the Lottery draws were held on the 20th November 2007, well at this time I didn*t even use Skype, because I didn*t have a computer. And what a wonder- I have the same ticket, serial and lucky numbers like a person in another log.

I have made a copy of the conversation.

Sorry- for the mistakes I am not a native speaker, but the alleged secretary wasn*t much better.
