This is a lottery scam (a form of advanced fee fraud) -- and so it isn't really
"phishing" as generally understood.... so this isn't quite the email list for
this sort of thing :( albeit many readers probably deal with many different
types of scam.

When this type of fraud contains UK (+44) phone numbers (though +44-704 is a
"follow me" style of number, so you'll probably talk to someone on a mobile
phone in Nigeria) then [and generally only then] it is worthwhile [promptly]
reporting it to fraud.alert AT met.police.uk because the team behind that
address will arrange for the contact number
not to work any more... which is kind of disruptive :)
The Met pages are quite interesting if you haven't seen them before:
