------------------------------------------------
 
“YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAS WON YOU £720,000 POUNDS IN THE BBC NATIONAL MOBILE PROMO FOR CLAIMS EMIAIL(NAME&MOBILENUMBER)TO: livewithbbc1@live.com, CALL: + 447045728127”

Erm.

The BBC isn't profit making and is publically funded through a license system. Most of its funding comes from British license payers. It doesn't do non-specific "promotions" ( though they may well advertise a specific show or channel).
It is much too big to use any other email address than its own.
It wouldn't dream of sending out messages that were in anything less than good English, (Promo!!!! ) with correct spelling.
And no one (BBC or otherwise) puts "GBP" or "British Pounds" if they are genuinely from within Britain.
And NO ONE SENDS YOU MESSAGES TELLING YOU THAT YOU'VE WON A LOTTERY YOU DIDN'T ENTER, EVER.
