My wife has just received a letter headlined as above. This letter is also marked with the People`s Postcode Lottery symbol.
The letter tells you that you have won £850,000,00 and explains how this came about.
My wife does not participate in any postcode lottery.
This letter comes with a form to be filled in with some very personal details, in order that you can received your winnings.
A quick check online reveals that numerous people have recently received a similar letter, some are sending them to Watchdog and others to the authorities.
Strangely my wife has never taken my surname or used it, but the letter does.
Your research probably brought up this list of complainants:- http://www.whophonedme.co.uk/02070606110
The rule is, if you never bought a ticket you cant possibly have won. They probably use the electoral register or 192.com to get your address and the first name of those who live with you.

I have read that list of complaints, the phone numbers and and names used in them same to be varied. My only fear is that some people may be taken in by the display of the peoples postcode lottery and reference to other lotteries. As most of us know people have been conned by similar scams either by paying fees or giving bank details etc.
This is a pure advance-fee scam. Destroy the letter and forget it. If something looks too good to be true, then it probably is! Sorry for the disappointing news, but I suspect you already knew that there would be tears before bedtime.
