  1. No they are bogus, because you did not fill out a lottery ticket, so please just dump them , they are scams if you WIN ANYTHING YOU NEVER HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MONIES TO BE SENT.


  2. If you believe them then give them your lifes savings I sure they well appreciate your contribution.

  3. no, they must be authentic if they are addressed with your name. You probably won mililons and they are jealous of you! Run for the gold pot !!! RUN !

  4. DO NOT SEND ANYTHING.

  5. Yes...certainly those are SCAMs. Some sites provide the clues of such Scams. Yahoo search may be referred when ever you get such mails. But, is their any International Body to stop these ? Even they target the job seekers and propose some new business ideas !! How to stop this ? The Hd. qutr of these scam stars is Nigeria ...may you name other places ? If its from UK, what the authorities are doing about this menace ? Thanks

  6. You know what they say.... If it's too good to be true... it probably is.

    First clue that it's a scam... they're asking for money.

  7. They are all SCAMS!

  8. total scam...

  9. OMG they are all scams.... do you really think you got that luck to win 15 lotteries in one day?

    and last time i checked you don't pay money (besides taxes) after you win the lottery , you buy a ticket, you win....

    they are all scams.....

  10. Remember the golden rule,  if it's too good to be true, it's not true.  My Granmother taught me that.  None of those solicitations for money are legitimate.  There is a web site called www.snopes.com that keeps track of email scams and hoaxes.  If you go to their web site you can check on the latest.  People don't get rich quick.  I would recommend that you not answer any of those emails.

  11. Definitely NOT LEGIT

  12. Delete them.

    If you ever actually win anything, no one will ask you to send money to collect your prize.

    Also, If you didn't enter a contest, or lottery, you can't have won anything.

  13. It's a scam. Don't trust anything that you get sent through e-mail.

  14. Of course they are scams! You have to buy a ticket to enter a lottery, if you haven`t bought one, how can you win? No one knows the identity of the person who wins a lottery, the ticket buyer has to claim the prize with the ticket.

  15. Do you really think there is someone out there giving away money to people on the internet? Don't do something stupid.

  16. They are all scams.  NO ONE GIVES MONEY AWAY FOR FREE!

  17. It is a scam. These people pray on people who are trying to make a quick buck.  If it sounds too good to be true...it is too good to be true.  Good luck.

  18. Scam, scam, scam.
