Another sad case of lottery scam victim losing money

I received similar lottery promotion few days back, saying the draw was held by Hewlett Packard in UK. I was said to have won 350,000.00 in pounds sterling. And they gave me details how to claim the winnings plus the insurance and delivery charges. But I sensed something amiss and then searched for clues. I hope others will not fall prey to this irresponsible acts.
