Another Lottery scam

This one's from Canary Wharf. Wasn't that destroyed in Dr Who? And why would they need your occupation?

I've found out that the numbers in these type of email scams are often premium rate phone numbers. You haven't won anything. In order to find that out, you have to call a number that pays the scammers. Avoid.
