New twist on an old scam - the London Stock Market lottery. An email arrives to tell you the good news that you are a winner of a lottery. If you put in "Real Event Games scam" into a search engine you soon see that it is a scam"
All you hve to do is download a claim form where they ask for personal details. That the criminals can use for identity theft. Of course, there will be some fee you have to pay in order to get the prize.
I also suspect that the attachment downloads malware.
Here are two examples of the phishing email:
