Lottery winnings scam

Today I received an email telling me that I had won 1 million pound sterling and asked to contact Mr Fred Peters within five days to claim my money. I would like to know if this is actually a scam as I believe it is. I do have Premium bonds which I have held for over 40 years and have never found out whether I had won anything since the death of my mother in law. If this is a hoax it is cruel to the people receiving them and they told me that I had been randomly picked out through my person email account. I am English by birth and upbringing and lived in Mitcham and know Croydon quite well.

Could this be checked into.

Thanks

Mavis
