I have recieve a email statin that my numbers were pulled in the autralian sweepstake lottery?

Question

i have my reference number , batch number and my winning number and the message was sent from THE DESK OF THE VICE PRESIDENT AUSTRALIAN INTERNALIONAL SWEEPSTAKE LOTTERY COPORATION

Answer 1

There is no international lottery.  Australia doesn't give away money to random people who have not played.

So it's just another spam con trick.  And I is 'statin' the truth!

Answer 2

it's more than likely a scam, i have never heard of an australian international sweepstake corperation, do yourself

a favour and delete it, thousands of people where cheated

out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by the same sort of

thing claiming to be a nigerian lottery, how could you win if you never entered or bought a ticket, the old saying "if it sounds to good to be true then it is to good to be true" is

sound advice

Answer 3

And did they ask you for money to pay some sort of fee or tax or maybe ask for your bank account details? There is no such corporation as the one you mentioned. This is a scam and there will be some way they will try to get money from you.

Do not answer. Do not open any attachments. Delete and report it.

Answer 4

lotteries do not contact people by email... delete the email.

Answer 10

I am from Australia dude and there is no National Sweepstakes Office. We do not even call it Sweepstakes. This is an American word and I think that you are being drawn into a US based scam.

DO NOT give out your info. All lotteries in Australia are administered by the state lotteries office and it is a government office not a private corporation. Delete all future emails from that company. The same thing happened to me but they said I had won the Irish Sweepstakes.

These dudes are crooks! Don't let them fool you.

Answer 11

dont answer it its a scam.the same thing happen to me.it  is a hoex,way for some onr to get your money

Answer 12

If you answer you will win the prize: you will get your money stolen.

This is a spam email. You didn't enter anything, so you can't win anything.

Answer 13

It is absolutely spam. You should delete the whole email and do not open it. You cannot win a competition that you did not enter.
