Answer 4

There are a number of scams coming out of the states at the moment. The most well known is the American awards center.

They tempt you with free prizes thensay you have to send money to enter a draw, then when you find out that the draw has taken place, it is always won by someone in germany or austria.

Its a scam, Trash it then report it as spam.
