I've been getting many many emails stating that I've randomly won something- money, gifts, trips etc. Real?

Question

Are their any sweepstakes that are random? In the past I've gotten nowhere in my responses. Does anyone know? If there are no sweeps then it's a waste of my time. Getting peoples hopes up is downright cruel.

Answer 1

There all fake...I get them all the time too...I just delete them...as a matter of fact I just deleted them from my spam folder

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

well unless it's from some1 u know or from something u signed up for, i'd probably just delete it

Answer 4

They are fake scams. NEVER give any information to people who offer "free" things. 99% they are trying to exploit those who trust.

Answer 5

i know from experiece that they are scams babe. just delete them and find a way to block them

Answer 6

They are definately not going to offer something for you having done absolutely nothing! Bets to mark them as spam and delete them. By clicking the links you will probably be asked to provide personal information for one reason or another - only to find you either have to fill in a 2million page survey and the minute they have your email address, they bombard you with more emails and pass your details onto everyone they know - for which they may get paid.

defo dont pass on personal information especially if they ask for bank details etc to put prize funds into - it will be a scam!

Answer 21

it's a scam! Be careful!

they hope to get into your informations like bank account details, paypal , online banking, credit card etc.

Never reply these emails and get a good anti spam and anti phishing filter for your mail box.

Answer 22

thats all spam and they just want to get your information

Answer 23

don't worry

Answer 24

Yeah, it's spam.  You usually get stuff like that if you register a login to play on say a poker site.  You can always know something is fake if you have to a) download something or b) send money.

Answer 25

hiya..if da sent person has a proper well known email..den its easy...u can accept but the rest its all junk..u hardly ever win anything..they jus take ur details..kk..xx

Answer 26

It's all spam. Mark as spam and delete it.

Answer 27

They are just "phishing" (fishing) for your information. When you respond, it verifies that yours is an active mail address, and they'll sell it to other spammers!  Also, if they ask for your mailing address, phone number, etc. they will sell that information also!! Quite a racket!  Sorry to burst your bubble!!
