Question

I had a mail that it said I WON SOME MONEY IN LOTTERY is it true or not ?

Answer 1

If its true, then I have a bridge for sale you might be interested in..

Answer 2

of course - no. It is poor spam. The main reason for this spam is to get active e-mails. You must answer with your bank details or so. In this way they get e-mails which are active.

If it would be real than we all would be rich. I am getting around 10-15 e-mails per month with some millions. Logically it can't be true at all.

Keep away from these e-mails and never give them your credit card details!

Answer 3

I hate to deflate your excitement, but most of those are just spam, and be careful because some ask for details like bank account information etc.

If you're not sure, search Google.. I'm sure there are thousands of pages dealing with these scams.

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.
