I have one letter of "you are the winner of Sweepstakes of Rs.10000000/-" but how its possible to get a price

Answer 1

its a spam, and the monetary unit R$ is the money of Brazil (Real) and R$1,60 = 1,00US$

but, dont click in any link of this spam, your PC may be infected by a tel.xls.exe worm, no antivirus can catch or delete this virus, in 2 weeks, your PC dont start the windows and you will have to format, i know this for experience, my pc ave be infected by these virus and, in two weeks i've formated

Answer 2

Shouldn't you be saying "How could I win?  I didn't buy a ticket, or enter a free online sweepstakes/lottery"

There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of these phishing exercises floating around the email systems of the world.

It is a scam - nobody in the world will solicit personal details and banking information by email, or ask you to contact your bank's security website (via the link the scammer provides) LEGITIMATELY.

Anyone who does is a scammer, and the way they get you is using an URL that starts with the bank's name followed by either:

1. a dot (instead of a /)

2. a string of %20 or _ so long that it is way beyond the limit of the browser's address field before the REAL webserver actually is.

3. a name that seems that it could be correct, e.g. stgeorgebank instead of the real name of stgeorge (or whatever is the real situation - this is a hypothetical example).

To add the authentic look, the artwork will usually be the real thing - coming from the real website (without permission of course)
