Answer 1

It's a scam to steal all your money. My suggestion is to just ignore it or report it or delete it.  the part "To file for your claim, please contact our Oversea claims agent.

Fiduciary Agent: Mr. Terry Bledsoe" is totally fake. They want you to go over sea to probably murder you or rob you. Terry Bledsoe? Sounds very fake. My idea is to just ignore it.

I won the lotto the same way.  Just send them a bank  account number along with some other personal information (passwords and a few credit card numbers) and they will deposit the cash right into your account.

Delete it! Its a scam.

Sounds real to me.  Go on, send them your bank details so that you can claim your prize from this lottery that you didn't enter!!!

Answer 14

Of course you've won the lottery!!! Wake up and smell the coffee eh!!

Answer 15

This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them - (with links to your own country) :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
