CRUEL hoaxers are using the names of £105m lotto winners to con unsuspecting victims.
The scam email claims to be from Steven and Lenka Thomson and asks the receiver to send personal details.
Despite the fake email being full of mistakes, it claims to be from the EuroMillions winners.
Steven and Lenka announced they would be generous with their new fortune when they were unveiled as the latest lotto millionaires.
Builder Mr Thomson also promised to go back to work and finish the jobs he still had on his books before Christmas.
The badly written email says: “I am Mr Thomson from Selsey, I want to inform you that your email have be chosen as one of the lucky beneficiary to receive donation of 1,500,000 GBP, from our EuroMillions jackpot lotto winning of 105,100,701 GBP, won by me and my wife this 2019.”
Mr Thomson has already shown he will be prudent with the new family fortune, splashing out on a second hand car.
The hoax email has been circulating round the village of Selsey where the family run a home improvement business.
