    Typical "lottery" scam.  Possibly Nigerian-based, as they often use +44 phone numbers that appear to have UK country codes.

    If you didn't send them any money, and you didn't give them any bank account information, they probably can't steal anything.  The rest of the "information" they are asking for is just to appear "official".

    The phony names are a joke, since like these ones, they appear to be what the scammers think sound like English names.
