Answer 1

i won the lottery....when i was dreaming!

thats a scam, like all the africans asking to deposit 100's of millions into my bank because of the corrupt government in their country.

scams can be easy to find out, if there is a large amount of money it's most probably a scam..but...the easiest way is when you have no idea how you won or got offered it (thats just a mail merge....... the more people who get the e-mail the more likely the crooks get a hit off some unsuspecting person).

DON'T be fooled even if there is a website to go to.

hope i helped.

Answer 17

It is a scam. They will ask you either for a certain amount of money to send said cash and then run away with it or ask you for your private info and bank account number so they can rob your bank account . Under no circumstance give them any personal identification as there are so many scams out there to steal your identity and your money.
