The above email was sent by “Gillian and Adrian Bayford” from this email address: bayfords@yahoo.com
I, Not Caught, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Gillian and Adrian Bayford”:
Now this can only be termed “SNEAKY”.
Adrian Bayford, 41, and his 40-year-old wife Gillian, of Haverhill, Suffolk, won the UK’s second biggest ever lottery prize in the Friday 10 August 2012 lottery draw.
In the article referred to the Bayfords said that they would share the money with people who had supported them.”
Gillian also says; “I’m Scottish, we’re known for being tight, I’ll still be hitting the sales.”
Not quite the kind of people who are going to rush out and share their winnings with some random person now are they?
